Descripción

General description

Peptone Water is a culture medium used for cultivating non-fastidious organisms, studying carbohydrate fermentation patterns, and performing the indole test. The peptone in Peptone Water is rich in tryptophan, which is essential for indole production. The presence of indole can be detected using either Kovacs or Ehrlich reagent. Additionally, this medium serves as a base for carbohydrate fermentation studies by adding sugars and indicators such as bromocresol purple, phenol red, or bromothymol blue, allowing researchers to analyze fermentation capabilities effectively. Peptone Water contains peptone as a source of carbon, nitrogen, vitamins and minerals. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic equilibrium of the medium.

Application

Peptone Water is used in microbiology for various applications, including environmental monitoring, food and beverage testing, sample preparation, and water quality analysis. It supports the cultivation and enrichment of microorganisms from environmental samples, pre-enrichment of pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae in food and beverages, and serves as a diluent for sample preparation in microbiological analysis.

Features and Benefits

NutriSelect^®Plus ia a powdered culture media offering

• Quality control with growth promotion test according to industry standards
• Quality assurance acc. to ISO 9001

Preparation Note

Add 15 g to 1 litre of distilled water. Mix well and distribute into final containers. Sterilize by autoclaving at 121°C for 15 minutes. If sterile solutions are to be added after autoclaving, reduce the volume of water for reconstitution by an equal amount.

Other Notes

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.
