Directions
Label the ready to use LQ196C bottle. Inoculate the sample and Incubate at specified temperature and time.
Principle And Interpretation
The composition of Buffered Sodium Chloride Peptone Solution is in accordance with the harmonized methodology of USP/EP/BP/JP/IP(1-5). This medium is recommended for preparation of stable test strain suspension employed for validating the microbiological testing procedures of non-sterile products. The standardized stable suspensions are used so that the suitability of this test to detect microorganism in presence of product can be established. Non-fatty products insoluble in water and water-soluble products are diluted/dissolved using this solution.
HMC Peptone serves as nutrient source and maintains the cell viability. Phosphates in the medium act as good buffering agents. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance. Lecithin neutralizes quaternary ammonium compounds and polysorbate 80 neutralizes phenolic disinfectants, hexachlorophene, formalin and with lecithin ethanol (6).
Type of specimen
Pharmaceutical samples
Specimen Collection and Handling
For pharmaceutical samples follow appropriate techniques for handling specimens as per established guidelines (1-5). After use, contaminated materials must be sterilized by autoclaving before discarding.
Warning and Precautions
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 specimens. Safety guidelines may be referred in individual safety data sheets.
Limitations
- This medium contains less nutrients and is not recommended for the growth of microorganisms.
Performance and Evaluation
Performance of the medium is expected when used as per the direction on the label within the expiry period when stored at recommended temperature.
