Directions
Sterile powder can be used directly for the evaluation of sterility in manufacturing process. For sterile liquid medium aseptically add 30.02 grams in 1000 ml sterile distilled / purified water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. DO NOT AUTOCLAVE OR OVERHEAT. Excessive heating is detrimental. Dispense aseptically in sterile tubes or flasks as desired.
Principle And Interpretation
Soyabean Casein Digest Medium is recommended as a sterility testing medium (1,2). Soyabean Casein Digest Medium w/ Mannitol is modified by addition of mannitol as the fermentable carbohydrate and phenol red as the indicator. It is also used for the sensitivity testing by the tube dilution method for antimicrobial agents (3).
The combination of pancreatic digest of casein and papaic digest of soyabean meal makes this medium nutritious by providing amino acids and long chain peptides for the growth of microorganisms. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance of the medium. Mannitol is the fermentable carbohydrate and phenol red is the pH indicator. Organisms ferment mannitol and produce acid which is indicated by the colour change of the medium from red to yellow.
