Directions
Label the ready to use blood culture bottle. Do not unscrew cap. remove the top of the screw cap. Disinfect the part of the rubber stopper which is now exposed. Draw patient's blood with the sterile or disposable needle and syringe as explained in specimen collection and disposable column. Transfer the blood sample immediately into the culture bottle by puncturing the rubber stopper with the needle and injecting the blood. Venting: Use sterile venting needle (LA038). Keep the bottle in an upright position preferably in a biological safety cabinet, place an alcohol swab over the rubber stopper and insert the venting needle with filter through it. Insertion and withdrawal of the needle should be done in a straight line. discard the needle and mix the contents by gently inverting the bottle 2-3 times. Do Not vent the bottle for anaerobic cultures. Incubate at 35±2°C for 18-24 hours and further for seven days.
Principle And Interpretation
Soyabean Casein Digest Medium is recommended by various pharmacopoeias as a sterility testing and as a microbial limit testing medium (1,2). This medium is a highly nutritious medium used for cultivation of a wide variety of organisms (3,4). Bacteremia is a serious and often life-threatening clinical condition. An important diagnostic tool for this condition is to analyze a blood specimen for the growth of bacteria on selected growth media.
The combination of tryptone and soya peptone makes the medium nutritious by providing amino acids and long chain peptides for the growth of microorganisms. Dextrose (Glucose) and dipotassium hydrogen phosphate serve as the carbohydrate source and the buffer, respectively in the medium. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance of the medium.
Type of specimen
Clinical sample: Blood
Specimen Collection and Handling
For clinical samples follow appropriate techniques for handling specimens as per established guidelines (5,6).
After use, contaminated materials must be sterilized by autoclaving before discarding.
Warning and Precautions
In Vitro diagnostic use only. For professional use only. Read the label before opening the container. Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/ face protection. Follow good microbiological lab practices while handling specimens and culture. Standard precautions as per established guidelines should be followed while handling clinical specimens. Safety guidelines may be referred in individual safety data sheets.
Limitations
- Individual organisms differ in their growth requirement and may show variable growth patterns on the medium.
- Each lot of the medium has been tested for the organisms specified on the COA. It is recommended to users to validate the medium for any specific microorganism other than mentioned in the COA based on the user's unique requirement.
