Directions
Label the ready to use LQ141XC glass bottle with screw cap. Inoculate the tube with the pre-determined volume of the sample or 50-100 CFU of a known culture (as positive control)and incubate at 35 - 37°C for 24-48 hours.
Principle And Interpretation
Saline solution maintains the osmotic balance in microbial cells and helps to maintain the cell integrity and viability. Normal saline is used for preparing microbial suspensions for detection of antimicrobial agents, or to growth media used for disk susceptibility testing. It is also used in the preparing of stock solutions and serial dilutions of antimicrobial agents.
Type of specimen
Pharmaceutical samples
Specimen Collection and Handling
For pharmaceutical samples follow appropriate techniques for handling specimens as per established guidelines (1-4).
After use, contaminated materials must be sterilized by autoclaving before discarding.
