BUFFERED PEPTONE WATER (as per ISO)

Description

Buffered Peptone Water is a non-selective pre-enrichment medium for the isolation for the Salmonella species from food and associated samples. The medium is designed to be used prior to selective enrichment. As Salmonella may be present in low number or sub-lethally injured pre-enrichment allows cells time to repair and multiply before being introduced to selective culture, thereby improving the chances of recovery from sample. The composition and performance criteria of this medium are as per the applications laid down in ISO 6579-2002, whereas the quality control of Buffered peptone water includes testing in accordance with ISO 6579:2017 and ISO 11133-2014.
