For cultivation of a wide variety of microorganisms from clinical and non-clinical samples and for sterility testing in pharmaceutical procedures.


Intended use

Recommended as a general purpose medium used for cultivation of wide variety of microorganisms from various samples.

Composition**

Ingredients g/L
HiVeg® hydrolysate 15.000
Soya peptone 5.000
Sodium chloride 5.000
Agar 15.000
Final pH (at 25°C) 7.3±0.2

**Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters

Directions

Suspend 40 grams in 1000 ml purified/distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15 lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. If desired, aseptically add 5% v/v defibrinated blood in previously cooled medium to 45-50°C for cultivation. Mix well and pour into sterile Petri plates.

Principle And Interpretation

This medium is prepared by completely replacing animal based peptones with vegetable peptones that are free of BSE/TSE risks. Soyabean HiVeg® Agar is the modification of Soyabean Casein Digest Agar with replacement of tryptone by HiVeg® hydrolysate. Soyabean HiVeg® Agar can be used as a general purpose medium used for multiple applications e.g. as a blood culture medium, as maintenance medium for culture collections (including maintenance of stock cultures), for testing bacterial contaminants and isolating fastidious organisms on enrichment with blood. It serves as a nutritive base to which variety of supplements can be added. On supplementation with blood it can be also used to determine haemolytic bacteria (1, 2). This medium can also be used for sensitivity testing by tube dilution method of antimicrobial agents, plate counting, against animal based Soyabean Casein Digest Agar.
This medium is employed for cultivation and isolation of fastidious and non-fastidious microorganisms. The combination of HiVeg® hydrolysate and soya peptone makes this media nutritious by providing amino acids and long chain peptides for the growth of microorganisms. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance.

Type of specimen

Pharmaceutical samples.

Specimen Collection and Handling:

For Pharmaceutical samples follow appropriate techniques for sample collection, handling and processing as per pharmacopeias (3,4). 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. Further biochemical testing is required on pure colonies 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.
