Each agar stick is individually packed in a resealable bag and 100% checked with visual controls to ensure maximum safety in critical environments. Tryptone soy agar is filled into a flexible carrier film. Tryptone soy agar (TSA, tryptic soy agar, soy casein peptone agar) is a complex medium for the cultivation and isolation of a wide variety of bacteria, yeasts and molds. The medium contains an additive of neutralizing agents such as lecithin and polysorbate 80.
