  • Dey & Engley Broth has the ability to neutralise antimicrobial chemicals and is used for environmental sampling for the detection and enumeration of microorganisms present in cosmetic and/or environmental samples. In this formulation the broth has been modified by the addition of Tween 80 (Polysorbate 80), Lecithin, Sodium thioglycollate, Sodium thiosulphate and Sodium bisulphite. It is recommended for use in environmental testing, particularly in areas subjected to surface disinfection, and conforms to the requirements of the British Pharmacopeia for sterility testing of appropriate pharmaceutical products. The product also conforms to ISO 21149 to act as a diluent in the method for the enumeration of aerobic bacteria from cosmetic samples. Lecithin and Polysorbate 80 (Tween 80) inactivate surface disinfectants (Lecithin neutralises quaternary ammonium compounds and Tween 80 neutralises phenols, formalin, hexachlorophene and in combination with the Lecithin ethanol). Sodium thioglycollate neutralises mercurials, Sodium thiosulphate neutralises iodine and chlorine and Sodium bisulphite neutralises aldehydes. Bromocresol purple is incorporated into the medium to indicate glucose utilisation.
  • A medium designed for optimum growth of anaerobes, particularly the fastidious organisms, it is generally used as an enrichment broth and can be used as a Blood Culture Medium. The growth factors Vitamin K, Haemin and L-Cysteine are included in the medium to assist those anaerobes that require them. L-Cysteine together with Sodium Thioglycollate reduces the ph of the medium and the Agar is present to reduce the absorption of Oxygen and convection currents. The redox indicator Resazurin is also present.
  • This buffer is intended primarily for use as a neutralising agent following treatment with alkaline compounds during the decontamination and homogenisation process of Sputum specimens prior to inoculation onto appropriate culture media for the isolation of Mycobacterium spp.
  • An osmotically controlled solution for the preparation of suspensions of food samples and for use as a diluent in dilution techniques for bacterial enumeration. The solution may also be used in the sampling of food production apparatus by the rinse and swab method.
