Directions

Suspend 50.0 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. Coo to 45-50°C. Mix well and pour into sterile Petri plates.

Principle And Interpretation

The principles of cultivation of bacteria were laid down in the late 1870's by Robert Koch. Since that time bacteriologists could study systematically the diseases caused by bacteria, isolate the causative agents in pure culture and make themselves familiar with their nature. With the aid of the culture technique they could produce therapeutic sera and prophylactic vaccines. Standard Infusion Agar supports luxuriant growth of a variety of bacteria. This medium is thus recommended for large-scale cultivation of bacteria for the purpose of vaccine and toxin production. Standard Infusion Agar has composition similar to HM Peptone B Agar (ATCC Medium 225) (1). Standard Infusion Broth, having a composition similar to Standard Infusion Agar is recommended as highly nutritious media for the cultivation of wide variety of microorganisms (2). Peptone and HM infusion B from provide nitrogen and carbon source, long chain amino acids sulphur, vitamins and other growth nutrients for luxuriant growth of organisms. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic equilibrium.

Type of specimen

Isolated Microorganism

Specimen Collection and Handling

After use, contaminated materials must be sterilized by autoclaving before discarding.

Warning and Precautions

In Vitro diagnostic Use. 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

Further biochemical and serological tests must be carried out for further identification.

Storage and Shelf Life

Store between 10-30°C in a tightly closed container and the prepared medium at 20-30°C. 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 clinical sample must be decontaminated and disposed of in accordance with current laboratory techniques (3,4).
