Maximum Recovery Diluent, HiCynth™ is a protective and isotonic diluent used for maximal recovery of microorganisms. Maximum Recovery Diluent is formulated as recommended by ISO Committee for use as an isotonic diluent. Standard methods for the examination of foodstuffs require sample dilution to be carried out accurately to estimate the number of microorganisms. This medium is prepared by completely replacing animal and vegetable peptones with chemically defined peptones to avoid BSE/TSE risks associated with animal peptones.
