Our Sabouraud Dextrose Broth (SDB) is a ready-to-use, sterile liquid medium specifically formulated for the cultivation of fungi, including yeasts, molds, and dermatophytes. Its acidic pH and high dextrose content create an environment that selectively promotes fungal growth while inhibiting most bacteria, making SDB a staple in clinical, industrial, and research mycology labs.

Usage Instructions:
Inoculate your sample directly into the broth and incubate under appropriate conditions (commonly 25–30°C) for the time specified by your protocol. Monitor for visible fungal growth and perform downstream analyses as needed. Store at room temperature (15–25°C) or refrigerate (2–8°C) if preferred. Keep containers sealed to maintain sterility and optimal performance.
