BD 220897 - Kligler Iron Agar Slants, Prepared Tubed Medium for Enteric Differentiation
The BD 220897 Kligler Iron Agar Slants are prepared tubed media designed for the differentiation of enteric Gram-negative bacilli based on carbohydrate fermentation and hydrogen sulfide production. This medium contains glucose, lactose, ferrous sulfate, and phenol red indicator to support detection of acid production and H2S formation.
Manufactured under the quality standards of BD, these ready-to-use slants provide consistent and reliable performance in clinical microbiology laboratories.
Key Benefits
Supports differentiation of glucose and lactose fermentation. Detects hydrogen sulfide production through black precipitate formation. Ready-to-use slants reduce preparation time and contamination risk. Manufactured under controlled conditions for consistent quality. Designed for dependable identification of Enterobacteriaceae and other enteric organisms.
Compatibility and Applications
BD 220897 Kligler Iron Agar Slants are compatible with standard microbiological inoculation tools and incubation systems. They are widely used in hospital laboratories, public health facilities, academic institutions, and diagnostic testing centers.
Typical applications include preliminary identification of enteric pathogens such as Salmonella and Shigella species, as well as differentiation of other Gram-negative bacilli recovered from clinical specimens.
Usage Guidelines
Inoculate the slant by stabbing the butt and streaking the surface using aseptic technique. Incubate according to established laboratory protocols, typically at 3537C for 1824 hours. Interpret results based on color changes in the slant and butt, gas production, and presence of black precipitate indicating hydrogen sulfide formation. Follow validated identification workflows for confirmatory testing.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
BD prepared culture media are manufactured under regulated quality systems to ensure performance reliability and consistency. Quality control testing verifies growth characteristics and differentiation capabilities, supporting use in clinical diagnostic laboratories.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared with in-house prepared media, BD prepared slants offer convenience, standardized formulation, and reduced risk of preparation variability. BD microbiology products are widely trusted for reproducibility and dependable differentiation performance in routine laboratory testing.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This product is used by clinical laboratory technologists, microbiologists, and research professionals involved in bacterial identification workflows. It is particularly effective in diagnostic laboratories processing stool, urine, and other specimens for enteric pathogen screening.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store prepared slants at the recommended temperature as indicated on labeling. Inspect tubes prior to use for cracks, contamination, or dehydration. Perform routine quality control using known control organisms. Dispose of used culture tubes in accordance with biosafety regulations.
Regulatory and Safety Information
While culture media are laboratory-use products rather than direct patient-use devices, they are manufactured under strict quality control systems to support clinical laboratory compliance. Proper handling, incubation, and disposal in accordance with institutional biosafety guidelines are essential.
