Application

The m-CP Agar Base with selective supplement is recommended by the Directive of the Council of the European Union 98/83/EC for isolation and enumeratin of Clostridium perfringens from water samples using membrane filtration technique.

Preparation Note

Suspend 35.6 g in 485 ml distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 1 bar pressure (121 °C) for 15 minutes. Cool to 50 °C. Aseptically add the rehydrated contents of 1 vial of M-CP Selective Supplement I (Cat. No. 51962) and 1 vial of M-CP Selective Supplement II (Cat. No. 82265). Mix well and pour into sterile petri plates.

Other Notes

Medium for the assay of water for Clostridium perfringens; EU 98/83/EC Council 3rd November 1998 on quality of water intended for human consumption

Footnote

We offer two media types: the superior granulated GranuCult® and the cost-efficient powdered NutriSelect® culture media, depending on your needs.
The designations basic, plus, or prime are added to indicate the quality control level, from basic quality control to standard QC plus to prime for full regulatory compliance.
