Principle And Interpretation
Tryptone Soya 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
- 1.Individual organisms differ in their growth requirement and may show variable growth patterns on the medium
- 2.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.
- 3.It is recommended to store the plates at 24-30°C to avoid minimum condensation.
- 4.Further biochemical test must be carried out for complete 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.
