Directions
Either streak, inoculate or surface spread the test inoculum (50-100 CFU) aseptically on the plate.
Principle And Interpretation
Tryptone Soya Agar with Lecithin and Polysorbate 80 is used in RODAC (Replicate Organism Detection and Counting) plates (3) for the detection and enumeration of microorganisms present on surfaces of sanitary importances (6,8). This medium is a moduification without lecithin.
Tryptone and Soya peptone provide nitrogenous compounds and other nutrients essential for microbial replication. Polysorbate 80 (Tween 80) are neutralizers reported to inactivate residual disinfectants from where the sample is collected (1). Polysorbate 80 neutralizes phenolic disinfectants, hexachlorophene, formalin and with lecithin ethanol (2).
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 (7). After counting the colonies, carry out biochemical testing for identification.
Type of specimen
Environmental monitoring samples
Specimen Collection and Handling:
For Environmental monitoring samples follow appropriate techniques for sample collection, handling and processing. After use, contaminated materials must be sterilized by autoclaving before discarding.
Warning and Precautions
Read the label before opening the pack. Use 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 ta 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.
