Directions
Suspend 25.5 grams in 1000 ml purified/distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Cool to 45-50°C. Mix well and pour into sterile Petri plates.
Advice: Recommended for the Microbiological assay of Dihydrostreptomycin, Framycetin, Kanamycin B and Teicoplanin
Principle And Interpretation
This medium is used in the assay of commercial preparations of antibiotics, as well as for antibiotics in body fluids, feeds etc. Medium composition is in accordance to the specifications detailed in the FDA, USP, IP, (1,2,3) and numerically identical to the name assigned by Grove and Randall (4).
Peptone, yeast and HM peptone B provides necessary growth nutrients for the test organisms like Bacillus subtilis. This medium provides solidified substratum for growth of organims. The pH 7.9 maintained in this medium provides optimum growth conditions for Bacillus subtilis (5). This medium is used to prepare the base as well as seed layer in the microbiological assay of Dihydrostreptomycin in accordance with USP (2) and Framycetin, Kanamycin B and Teicoplanin in accordance with IP (3).

Storage and Shelf Life
Store between 10-30°C in a tightly closed container and use freshly prepared medium. Use before expiry date on the label. On opening, product should be properly stored dry, after tightly capping the bottle in order to prevent lump formation due to the hygroscopic nature of the product. Improper storage of the product may lead to lump formation. Store in dry ventilated area protected from extremes of temperature and sources of ignition. Seal the container tightly after use. Product performance is best if used within stated expiry period.
Disposal
User must ensure safe disposal by autoclaving and/or incineration of used or unusable preparations of this product. Follow established laboratory procedures in disposing of infectious materials and material that comes into contact with sample must be decontaminated and disposed of in accordance with current laboratory techniques (5,6).
