Product and use case
Liofilchem Alkaline Peptone Water culture media 610098 is a Liofilchem microbiology product supplied by Kormay Biomedicals. Its practical role is aLKALINE PEPTONE WATER is recommended by OMS and APHA as a tranport and enrichment medium for Vibrio spp. The enrichment in liquid medium is necessary for isolation of Vibrio from feces (after the first 48 hours of disease), for the control of carriers and for the examination of drinks , foods or sewage. The high value of pH slows down the development of common contaminants, so that after 6-7 hours of incubation, vibrio, if present, stand out on microscopical examination in dark field.
This product is relevant to water and beverage laboratories where filtration, enrichment, colony recovery, and indicator-organism interpretation are tied to release or investigation decisions.
