I'm not familiar with this agar, if it's casein, peptone, serine I don't know what it would have to do with starch I tried searching for it but couldn't find it. Is this name English or a different language?
Edit: Could it be CP agar? Complex polysaccharide agar?
Edit2: If you can't find anything I'll dig out a text book and see if I can find something >.> |

| Can you tell us what they are used to culture, i.e. gram negs, etc. Are they selective, enriched or a general growth media ? I've worked in a micro lab for a number of years, and never came across this one..unless it is used to grow non-human pathogens. |

I'm thinking it could be casein, peptone, starch from her description but I have no idea how that would be useful, I think this might be a language barrier issue. |

CPS is Casein Peptone Starch agar.
