Directions
Either streak, inoculate or surface spread the test inoculum (50-100 CFU) aseptically on the plate.
Principle And Interpretation
Soyabean Casein Digest Agar with Lecithin and Polysorbate 80 is used in RODAC (Replicate Organism Detection and Counting) plates (1) for the detection and enumeration of microorganisms present on surfaces of sanitary importances (2,3).
Tryptone and Soya peptone provide nitrogenous compounds and other nutrients essential for microbial replication. Lecithin and polysorbate 80 (Tween 80) are neutralizers reported to inactivate residual disinfectants from where the sample is collected (4). Lecithin neutralizes quaternary ammonium compounds and polysorbate 80 neutralizes phenolic disinfectants, hexachlorophene, formalin and with lecithin ethanol (5).
Collection of samples from areas before and after the treatment with disinfectant evaluates cleaning procedures in environmental sanitation. The presence and number of microorganisms is determined by the appearance of colonies on the agar surface (6). After counting the colonies, carry out biochemical testing for identification.
Type of specimen
Swabs of containers, Equipment surfaces, Water miscible cosmetics etc.
Specimen Collection and Handling
For swabs of containers, equipment surfaces, water miscible cosmetics samples follow appropriate techniques for handling specimens as per established guidelines (1).
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 in individual safety data sheets.
Limitations
- Individual strain of a microorganism may have unique growth requirements with respect to nutrients and physical conditions. Based on which the growth pattern of each varies on a medium and some even may display significant delay in development.
- 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.
- It is recommended to store the plates at 24-30°C to avoid minimum condensation.
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
Sterile Tryptone Soya Agar Plate w/ Lecithin & Polysorbate 80 in 55 mm scored disposable plates with convex surface and absence of black particles/ cracks/ bubbles. (Barcoded, gamma irradiated, Triple pack)
Colour of medium
Light yellow coloured medium
Quantity of medium
20 ml of medium in 55 mm scored plates.
pH
7.10-7.50
Sterility Check
Passes release criteria
Dose of irradiation (Kgy)
13.00-20.00
Cultural Response
Growth Promotion was observed after an incubation at 30-35°C for 18-24 hours for bacteria and for fungus <=5 days.
Recovery rate
Recovery rate is considered 100% for bacterial growth on SCDA and fungal growth on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar.
Growth promoting properties
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 hours).
Neutralization test
The smaller zone of inhibition compared to SCDA indicates neutralization of quarternary ammonium compounds by this medium
