This is a sterile aqueous solution of Potassium di-hydrogen phosphate (16.0 % w/v) with Phenol Red Indicator suitable for use in the neutralisation following the digestion of sputum with Sodium hydroxide prior to culture. It is generally used in conjunction with BM1322 Sodium hydroxide 4%. -
This is a sterile aqueous solution of Potassium Di-Hydrogen Ortho-phosphate (16.0 % w/v) suitable for use in the neutralisation following the digestion of Sputum with Sodium Hydroxide prior to culture. It is generally used in conjunction with Sodium Hydroxide 4% with Phenol Red Indicator 0.2%. -
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. -
This is a general-purpose complex medium for cultivation and isolation of fastidious bacteria, yeasts and moulds. The formulation is based on the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP Medium II) and European Pharmacopoeia (EP Medium B). The medium can be incubated under aerobic or anaerobic conditions for sterility testing, air sampling and other areas of bacteriological investigation. This product is wrapped in barrier film to allow for use in Vaporised Hydrogen peroxide sterilisation systems. This particular product is triple wrapped and terminally sterilised by Gamma irradiation. Dose Range: 8.0 kGy - 15.0kGy -
This is a general-purpose complex medium for cultivation and isolation of fastidious bacteria, yeasts and moulds. The formulation is based on the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP Medium II) and European Pharmacopoeia (EP Medium B). Lecithin and Polysorbate 80 (Tween 80) are added to inactivate surface disinfectants (Lecithin neutralises quaternary ammonium compounds and Tween 80 neutralises phenols, formalin, hexachlorophene and in combination with the Lecithin ethanol). The medium can be incubated under aerobic or anaerobic conditions for sterility testing, air sampling and other areas of bacteriological investigation. This product is wrapped in barrier film to allow for use in Vaporised Hydrogen peroxide sterilisation systems. This particular product is triple wrapped and terminally sterilised by Gamma irradiation. Dose Range: 8.0 kGy - 15.0kGy -
This is a general-purpose complex medium for the cultivation and isolation of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms. The base medium, Tryptone Soya Agar (Soybean-Casein Digest agar), conforms to the Harmonized United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), European Pharmacopoeia (EP), and Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP). Histidine and Sodium Thiosulphate are added to inactivate surface disinfectants (Lecithin neutralises quaternary ammonium compounds, Tween 80 and Histidine neutralises phenols, formalin, hexachlorophene and, in combination with the Lecithin, ethanol and Sodium Thiosulphate inactivates mercurials, halogens and aldehydes). The medium can be incubated under aerobic or anaerobic conditions for sterility testing, air sampling and other areas of bacteriological investigation. This product is wrapped in barrier film to allow for use in Vaporised Hydrogen peroxide sterilisation systems. This particular product is triple wrapped and terminally sterilised by Gamma irradiation. Dose Range: 8.0 kGy - 15.0kGy
