For in vitro diagnostic use. BM0385 Saline (0.85%) with Beads is used in preparation of tissue specimens for microbiological examination prior to culture.
It may also be used as a general-purpose diluent in many areas of the laboratory.
Saline (0.85%) is recommended for processing clinical specimens for microbiological examination (1, 2).
The addition of glass beadswill allow the specimen to be broken down and, therefore, aiding with the release of microorganisms into the saline for further
testing.
BM0385 Saline (0.85%) with Beads maintains the osmotic balance of the medium thereby maintaining cell morphology and integrity of bacteria.
Glass beads assist with homogenisation of specimens prior to subculturing to primary isolation agar plates and/or enrichment broths.
The solution does not interfere with any biochemical reaction and/or antibiotic susceptibility test.
