Recommended for routine cultivation of non-fastidious bacteria from various samples.
Composition
| Ingredients | g/L |
|---|---|
| HiVeg™ peptone | 10.000 |
| HiVeg™ extract | 3.000 |
| Sodium chloride | 5.000 |
| Final pH (at 25°C) | 7.2±0.2 |
**Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters
Directions
Suspend 18.0 grams in 1000 ml purified/distilled water. Heat if necessary to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense in tubes or flasks or as desired. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes.
Principle And Interpretation
The majority of organisms to be studied in medical bacteriology are either pathogens or commensals of the human body, and in order to obtain suitable growth the artificial culture medium should provide nutrients and a pH (about 7.2) approximating to those of the tissues and body fluids. For routine purposes many of these nutrients are supplied by aqueous extracts of HM peptone B and peptone, which is a product of the digestion of protein (1). HM peptone B Broth can be used as a general-purpose nutrient medium and is also recommended for preparation of pure culture of Candida species for carrying out fermentation studies (2). HiVeg™ Extract Broth is prepared by completely replacing animal based peptone with vegetable peptones to avoid BSE/TSE risks associate with animal peptones. HM peptone B Broth is a non-selective nutrient medium containing HiVeg™ peptone and HiVeg™ extract as a source of nitrogen and carbon source, long chain amino acids, vitamins and other essential nutrients. Sodium chloride as a source of electolytes.

Storage and Shelf Life
Store below 10-30°C in a tightly closed container and the prepared medium at 15-25°C. Use before expiry date on the label. On opening, product should be properly stored dry, after tightly capping the bottle inorder to prevent lump formation due to the hygroscopic nature of the product. Improper storage of the product may lead to lump formation. Store in dry ventilated area protected from extremes of temperature and sources of ignition. Seal the container tightly after use. Product performance is best if used within stated expiry period.
Disposal
User must ensure safe disposal by autoclaving and/or incineration of used or unusable preparations of this product. Follow established laboratory procedures in disposing of infectious materials and material that comes into contact with sample must be decontaminated and disposed of in accordance with current laboratory techniques (7,8).
