When this format is useful
This product fits environmental monitoring where repeatable sampling and neutralization are more important than a single isolated result. The lab should connect the medium to surface type, disinfectant residues, incubation plan, alert/action limits, and trend review.
What to read after incubation
The turbidity of the broth culture typically indicates microbial growth. Refer to appropriate
Selective or enrichment logic
Pancreatic digest of casein and papaic digest of soybean meal provide amino acids, nitrogen, carbon, minerals, vitamins and other nutrients which support the growth of microorganism. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance of the medium. Dipotassium hydrogen phosphate is the buffer. Glucose is the fermentable carbohydrate. Lecithin neutralizes quaternary ammonium compounds. Tween 80 Supplement (ref. 80031) is added to neutralize phenols, hexachlorophene, formalin, and with Lecithin, ethanol.
