Liofilchem Alkaline Peptone Water

The Liofilchem™ Alkaline Peptone Water is a microbiological enrichment medium specifically formulated to support the growth of Vibrio spp., particularly Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. It is widely used in clinical, food, and environmental microbiology laboratories for isolating and detecting Vibrio species from various sample types.

Key Features

1. Optimized for Vibrio Growth:
   • High pH (alkaline) conditions enhance the selective enrichment of Vibrio species while inhibiting the growth of competing organisms.
2. Nutrient-Rich:
   • Contains peptone and sodium chloride, providing essential nutrients for the growth and recovery of Vibrio spp.
3. Versatile Applications:
   • Suitable for clinical specimens, food testing, and environmental samples, ensuring broad usability.
4. High Yield:
   • One 500g container can prepare approximately 12.5 liters of medium, making it ideal for laboratories with high throughput.

Specifications

Applications

1. Clinical Microbiology:
   • Enrich and isolate Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio parahaemolyticus from stool samples.
2. Food Microbiology:
   • Detect Vibrio species in seafood, particularly shellfish, and other food products associated with Vibrio outbreaks.
3. Environmental Testing:
   • Monitor Vibrio contamination in water sources, including coastal and estuarine environments.
4. Research:
   • Study the growth dynamics and behavior of Vibrio spp. under alkaline conditions.

Preparation Instructions

1. Suspend 40g of Alkaline Peptone Water powder in 1 liter of distilled water.
2. Heat gently to dissolve completely.
3. Adjust the pH to 8.4 ± 0.2 if necessary.
4. Dispense into appropriate containers.
5. Sterilize by autoclaving at 121°C for 15 minutes.
