Directions
Suspend 25 grams of Part A in 960 ml distilled water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Add 40 ml of Part B. Mix well and sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.
Principle and Interpretation
This medium is prepared by using HiVeg hydrolysate is place of Casein enzymic hydrolysate which makes the medium free of BSE/TSE risks. Fluid Casein Digest Soya Lecithin HiVeg Medium is recommended for sanitary examination of surfaces. Weber and Black had described the importance of a highly nutritional medium containing the neutralizing agents for quaternary ammonium compounds (1,2).
The medium contains HiVeg hydrolysate which provides the necessary nutrients for the growth of the organisms. Soya lecithin neutralizes the quaternary ammonium compounds while polysorbate 20 neutralizes phenolic disinfectants, hexachlorophene and formalin (3).
Quality Control
Appearance of powder
Part A: Yellow coloured, may have greenish tinge, homogeneous, free flowing powder.
Part B: Colourless, clear, viscous liquid.
Colour and Clarity
Yellow coloured, clear solution without any precipitate.
Reaction
Reaction of the medium (2.5% w/v Part A + 4.0% v/v Part B) is pH 7.3 ± 0.2 at 25°C.
Cultural Response
Cultural characteristics observed after an incubation at 35-37°C for 18-24 hours.
| Organisms (ATCC) | Inoculum (CFU) | Growth |
