Oxoid™ Iron Sulphite Agar (Modified Cameron Sulphite) (500g) is a selective medium used for the enumeration and detection of Clostridium perfringens in food and water samples. The medium contains iron salts and sodium sulphite, which enable the detection of sulphite-reducing clostridia by the formation of characteristic black colonies.

Key Features:

• Form: Dehydrated powder
• Weight: 500g
• Application: Enumeration and detection of Clostridium perfringens in food and water samples
• Composition: Contains iron salts and sodium sulphite for the selective detection of sulphite-reducing clostridia; peptones provide essential nutrients
• Preparation: Suspend 50g in 1 liter of distilled water, mix thoroughly, and heat to dissolve completely. Sterilize by boiling (do not autoclave). Cool to 45–50°C before pouring.
• Yield: Approximately 10 liters of prepared medium
• Storage: Store the dehydrated medium at 10–30°C, protected from moisture and light
• Compliance: Suitable for use in standardized microbiological methods for the detection of C. perfringens, particularly in food and environmental testing.
