Directions
Suspend 18.0 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 peptone No.2 and HiVeg extract which makes the medium free from BSE/TSE risks. Fluid Lactose HiVeg Medium with Soya Lecithin and polysorbate 20 like the conventional medium is recommended for microbial evaluation of oral hygiene products.
HiVeg extract and HiVeg peptone No.2 provide essential nutrients for bacterial metabolism. Lactose serves as a source of carbon. Soya lecithin and polysorbate 20, two commonly used neutralizers are reported to inactivate residual disinfectants when the sample is being collected. Soya lecithin neutralizes the quaternary ammonium compounds while polysorbate 20 neutralizes phenolic disinfectants; hexachlorophene and formalin (1).
