Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Alkaline Saline Peptone Water (ISO) (Dehydrated)

Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Alkaline Saline Peptone Water (ISO) (Dehydrated) is specifically formulated to enrich and recover Vibrio species from food and water samples. It complies with ISO/TS 21872-1&2:2007 standards, making it a reliable medium for selective microbial recovery. The medium exploits the ability of Vibrio species to thrive in alkaline conditions with high sodium chloride concentrations. Additionally, it can be used as a non-selective enrichment medium for Aeromonas species.

Features and Benefits

• Selective for Vibrio Species: Promotes recovery of Vibrio species by creating alkaline and high-sodium conditions.
• Adherence to Standards: Complies with ISO/TS 21872-1&2:2007 for food and water testing.
• Non-selective Cultivation: Also suitable for cultivating Aeromonas species in food and environmental samples.
• Nutrient-Rich: Contains peptone for growth and recovery, providing essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.

Applications

• Selective Enrichment: Designed for the isolation of Vibrio species from food and water samples.
• Non-Selective Cultivation: Effective for Aeromonas species.
• Environmental and Clinical Testing: Used in testing foodborne and waterborne pathogens.

Preparation

1. Dissolve the required amount of dehydrated medium in distilled water as per the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Sterilize by autoclaving at 121°C for 15 minutes.
3. Cool the medium to the recommended temperature before use.
