# Pancreatic digest of casein
## Papaic digest of soybean (soyabean)
Directions
Suspend 29.77 grams (the equivalent weight of dehydrated medium per litre) in 1000 ml purified/ distilled water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense in tubes or flasks as desired. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes or as per validated cycle.
Note: If any fibres are observed in the solution, it is recommended to filter the solution through a 0.22 micron filter to eliminate the possibility of presence of fibres.
Principle And Interpretation
Soyabean Casein Digest Medium is recommended as a sterility testing medium in accordance with the harmonized method of USP/EP/BP/JP/IP (1-5). It is used for the sensitivity testing of antimicrobial agents by the tube dilution method (6). It is also employed in diagnostic research in microbiology. This medium is used as a diluent and suspending medium for preparation of samples or test strains.
The combination of tryptone and soya peptone makes this medium nutritious by providing nitrogenous, carbonaceous compounds, long chain amino acids, vitamins and other minerals for the growth of microorganisms. Natural sugars in soybean promote growth of fastidious organism. Glucose monohydrate is the fermentable source of carbon and dipotassium hydrogen phosphate serves as the buffer in the medium. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance of the medium. This medium is recommended for sterility checking and for studying total aerobic microbial count in verification of microbiological testing procedures employed for sterility checking.
Type of specimen
Pharmaceutical samples
Specimen Collection and Handling
For pharmaceutical samples, follow appropriate techniques for sample collection, processing as per pharmaceutical 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 to individual safety data sheets.
Limitations
- 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.
- Individual organisms differ in their growth requirement and may show variable growth patterns on the medium.
- Biochemical characterization is necessary to be performed on colonies from pure cultures for further identification.
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.
Quality Control
Appearance
Cream to yellow coloured granular media.
Colour and Clarity of prepared medium
Light yellow coloured clear solution without any precipitate.
Reaction
Reaction of 2.98% w/v aqueous solution at 25°C (after sterilization). pH: 7.3±0.2
pH
7.10-7.50
Stability test
Light yellow coloured clear solution without any precipitation or sedimentation at room temperature for 7 days.
Growth promoting properties
Clearly visible growth of microorganism comparable to that previously obtained with previously tested and approved lot of medium occurs at the specified temperature for not more than the shortest period of time specified inoculating <=100 cfu(at 30-35°C for 18-24 hours for bacteria and 5 days for fungal). Growth promotion is carried out as per USP/EP/BP/JP.
Sterility Testing + Validation
The medium is tested with suitable strains of microorganisms inoculating <=100cfu and incubating at 20-25°C for not more than 3 days in case of bacteria and not more than 5 days in case of fungi.
