Tryptic Soy Agar
Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA) is used for the isolation and cultivation of nonfastidious and fastidious microorganisms. It is not the medium of choice for anaerobes. Also commonly referred to as Trypto Soy Agar, Trypticase Soy Agar, and Soybean-Casein Digest Agar.
Tryptic (Trypticase) Soy Agar meets United States Pharmacopeia (USP), European Pharmacopoeia (EP) and Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP)1-3 performance specifications, where applicable.
Principles: The combination of casein and soy peptones in TSA renders the medium highly nutritious by supplying organic nitrogen, particularly amino acids and longer-chained peptides. The sodium chloride maintains osmotic equilibrium. Agar is the solidifying agent.
