  • This is a medium supporting a wide range of organisms. It conforms to the requirements of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) for antibiotic sensitivity testing of pharmaceutical products. As previously stated Antibiotic Medium No. 1 is used in the performance of antibiotic assays. This medium is prepared according to the specifications detailed in the USP. The use of this medium assures well-defined inhibition zones of the test organisms. Nutrients and growth factors are supplied by peptic digest of animal tissue, casein hydrolysate, yeast extract, and beef extract. Glucose is a carbon source.
  • This is a medium supporting a wide range of organisms. It conforms to the requirements of the United States Pharmacopeia for antibiotic sensitivity testing of pharmaceutical products. Antibiotic Assay Medium No.32 is a modification of Antibiotic assay medium No.1. (E & O BM4710). This medium is used to develop inoculum of Bacillus subtilis for antibiotic assay used in the test for assaying by the plate assay method.  Nutrients and growth factors are supplied by peptic digest of animal tissue, casein hydrolysate, yeast extract, and beef extract. Glucose is a carbon source.
  • This is a medium supporting a wide range of organisms. It conforms to the requirements of the United States Pharmacopeia for antibiotic sensitivity testing of pharmaceutical products. Antibiotic Assay Medium  No. 8 is recommended for preparing inoculum of Bacillus subtilis to be used as a test  for assaying Vancomycin by plate assay method.
  • Buffered Sodium Chloride Peptone Diluent is used for the microbial examination of pharmaceutical products, e.g. as a diluent for sample preparation or as a rinsing solution. This formulation complies with the Harmonized USP/EP/JP.
  • The principle use for this product is in the testing of disinfectants and antiseptics. In 1989, the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) set up a technical committee to produce harmonised test methods for disinfectants and antiseptics. The CEN standards provide a useful basis for disinfectant validation, and although alternative methods could be used for assessing disinfectant efficacy, following the same basic methods allows not only direct comparison between products but also comparison across various different laboratories. The adaptability of the methods - numerous validation studies based on the CEN methods have been accepted by both the European and US regulatory authorities - allows end- users to customise the methods to their specific requirements. 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). L-histidine, in combination with lecithin and Tween 80, neutralises aldehydes and formaldehyde generating agents. Sodium thiosulphate neutralises iodine and chlorine.
  • 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.
  • E.E. Broth is recommended as an enrichment medium when examining food and feedstuffs for Enterobacteriaceae. It is a modification of Brilliant Green Bile Broth, with an improved buffering capacity to encourage early growth and prevent autosterilization. E.E. Broth uses glucose instead of lactose to make the medium a test for all enterobacteria including non-lactose fermenting organisms. This formulation complies with the Harmonized USP/EP/JP.
  • BM0756

    Fluid A (USP)

    This broth is used to aid the rinsing of the membrane filter apparatus when performing sterility testing.  This formulation complies with the United States Pharmacopoeia.
