AnaSelect® Blood Agar Plate provides a means to significantly reduce background growth of facultative microbes. This reduction enhances the number of anaerobe colonies relative to the number of facultative colonies on plate, improving isolation of anaerobes.
- Frequently, the clinical microbiologist encounters a situation where sensual evidence (odor) suggests that an anaerobe is present on a plate directly streaked with a specimen, yet a distinctive anaerobe colony cannot be isolated

The AnaSelect® Blood Agar Plate provides a means to significantly reduce background growth of facultative microbes when directly plating a clinical specimen. This reduction enhances the number of anaerobe colonies relative to the number of facultative colonies on the plate, improving the isolation of the anaerobe.
For even more selectivity, use the AnaSelect® Blood Agar Plate after first enriching for the anaerobe in an AnaSelect® for Broth culture of the specimen.
The AnaSelect® Blood Agar Plate utilizes the Brucella Blood Agar general growth media formulation.
