2. Standard Aerobic Culture Medium (Plastic Vials): Used for cultivating aerobic microorganisms.
3. Standard Anaerobic Medium (Plastic Vials): Used for cultivating anaerobic microorganisms.

Important Handling Information

Note that the Standard Aerobic and Anaerobic Culture Medium variants are temperature-sensitive. They require strict refrigeration and must be shipped via specialized Overnight Shipping on Ice to guarantee viability. Due to these requirements, availability may be limited to the Continental US.

Yes, all configurations of the BD BACTEC culture media are conveniently supplied in packages of 50 units.

This standard quantity applies across the entire product line, ensuring consistent supply for laboratory needs. The 50 units per pack applies to:

• BACTEC Subculture Aerobic Venting Units
• Standard Aerobic Culture Medium in plastic culture vials
• Standard Anaerobic Medium in plastic culture vials

The BD BACTEC medium is a specialized consumable designed for use within the BD BACTEC system to support comprehensive microbiological diagnostics in clinical and research laboratories. Its primary function is to facilitate the reliable cultivation and subsequent detection of microorganisms.

Key applications include:

• Aerobic and Anaerobic Testing: Specific configurations are available as Standard Aerobic Culture Medium and Standard Anaerobic Medium to cover a wide range of microbial growth requirements.
• Cultivation Environment: Provides the critical nutrients and conditions necessary for the growth and detection of viable organisms.
• System Integration: Ensures reliable, standardized results when seamlessly integrated with the BD BACTEC instrumentation.

Yes, strict temperature control is mandatory for the liquid culture media to ensure viability and diagnostic integrity. These specific variants must be kept refrigerated:

• Standard Aerobic Culture Medium (in Plastic Culture Vials, 50/pk)
• Standard Anaerobic Medium (in Plastic Culture Vials, 50/pk)

These temperature-sensitive variants are shipped using a specialized service (Overnight and on Ice). Please note that the BACTEC Subculture Aerobic Venting Unit configuration does not require refrigeration.

Yes, the standard culture media formulations require strict temperature control to ensure optimal viability and performance.Both the Standard Aerobic Culture Medium and the Standard Anaerobic Medium variants must adhere to the following temperature requirements:They must be kept refrigerated for storage.They must be shipped Overnight and on Ice to maintain the required temperature during transit.Note that the BACTEC Subculture Aerobic Venting Unit is a separate configuration and does not have this explicit refrigeration requirement.

The BD BACTEC medium is supplied in packs of 50 units and offers three specific configurations compatible with the BD BACTEC system:

• BACTEC Subculture Aerobic Venting Unit: Designed for use in aerobic subculturing procedures.
• Standard Aerobic Culture Medium: Provided in plastic culture vials for primary aerobic growth.
• Standard Anaerobic Medium: Provided in plastic culture vials for primary anaerobic growth.

Important Handling Requirement

The Standard Aerobic and Standard Anaerobic Culture Medium are temperature-sensitive and require special cold-chain management to maintain viability. These variants must be kept refrigerated and are shipped overnight and on ice.

All available configurations of the BD BACTEC culture media and accessories are supplied in standardized packs containing 50 units.

This quantity applies to all three available options:

• Standard Culture Medium Vials: Both the Standard Aerobic and Standard Anaerobic Medium plastic culture vials are provided in packs of 50.
• Venting Units: The BACTEC Subculture Aerobic Venting Unit is also packaged 50 per pack.

The primary use of the Bd Bactec Aerobic & Anaerobic Medium is for the culturing and reliable detection of microorganisms in clinical and research microbiology settings. It is specifically formulated for use with the integrated BD BACTEC system.

These specialized media formulations address distinct testing requirements:

• Aerobic Testing: Utilizes the Standard Aerobic Culture Medium in plastic culture vials.
• Anaerobic Testing: Utilizes the Standard Anaerobic Medium in plastic culture vials.
• Subculture Support: Utilizes the BACTEC Subculture Aerobic Venting Unit.

All configurations are supplied in convenient packs of 50 units.

Yes, the BD BACTEC Aerobic & Anaerobic Medium is supplied in Factory New condition. This is essential for maintaining the optimal integrity and reliability of the specialized media formulations used in critical microbiological culture testing.
