Hardy Diagnostics Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) with Chloramphenicol is a selective medium formulated for the cultivation and isolation of yeasts and molds from mixed or contaminated samples.

The addition of chloramphenicol, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, suppresses bacterial growth—allowing for accurate recovery and enumeration of fungal species in environmental, cosmetic, cannabis, and pharmaceutical samples.

PDA provides a rich carbohydrate source from potato infusion and dextrose, promoting robust mycelial growth and pigment development in fungi such as Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Candida.

Features and Benefits:
• Selective formulation inhibits bacterial interference during fungal isolation
• Supports pigmentation and sporulation for easy fungal identification
• Deep-fill format ensures optimal moisture retention and long incubation periods
• Crystal-clear polystyrene plates for distortion-free colony observation
• Available in convenient pack or case quantities for high-throughput labs
• Ideal for quality control, contamination detection, and environmental monitoring
