BSK-H Medium, Sterile Filtered, 500 ml
w/o Rabbit Serum w/ Phenol Red and L-Glutamine
BSK-H Medium is a specialized, enriched culture medium optimized for the growth and maintenance of Borrelia species, including Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease. This sterile filtered formulation excludes rabbit serum but contains phenol red as a pH indicator and L-glutamine to support optimal metabolic activity. The medium facilitates the microaerophilic cultivation of these fastidious spirochetes in research and diagnostic laboratories.
Applications:
- Cultivation and propagation of Borrelia species for research and diagnostic studies
- Isolation and identification of Borrelia burgdorferi from clinical and environmental specimens
- Evaluation of antimicrobial susceptibility for Lyme disease treatment research
- Support of culture-based diagnostic confirmation of Borrelia infections
BSK-H Medium, with its serum-free and phenol red-containing composition, provides a controlled environment that enhances reproducibility and sensitivity in Borrelia cultivation workflows.
