BD Trichosel Broth Modified with 5% Horse Serum - 10/Pack

Advanced Microbiology Cultivation with BD Trichosel™ Broth

Optimize your clinical microbiology workflow with BD Trichosel™ Broth, a specialized liquid medium engineered for the highly selective isolation and cultivation of Trichomonas species. This modified formulation is a gold standard for laboratories requiring reliable growth environments for parasitic identification. Developed by Becton Dickinson (BD), this broth provides the specific nutritional requirements necessary to support the metabolic activity and proliferation of Trichomonas vaginalis and related species from clinical specimens.

Modified Formulation with 5% Horse Serum

The efficacy of this culture medium is enhanced by the inclusion of 5% Horse Serum. This biological additive provides essential lipids, proteins, and growth factors that are vital for the successful recovery of fastidious organisms. The modification ensures that even low-titer samples have the nutritional support required for detectable growth, reducing the risk of false-negative results in diagnostic microbiology.
