SOYABEAN CASEIN DIGEST MEDIUM WITH TWEEN 80 500G 500 grams/bottle

Trypticasein Soy Broth (TSB) with Tween 80 is used for determining efficiency of disinfection of containers, surfaces, water cosmetics, etc and other products of sanitary importance. It can also be utilized for the detection and enumeration of microorganisms from water insoluble products and fatty products containing preservatives or antimicrobials. Containing two peptones as rich nitrogen sources, obtained by the enzymatic hydrolysis of Casein and Soy proteins, this medium supports the growth of a great variety of microorganisms, including fastidious aerobes and anaerobes. Besides nitrogen, peptones also provide vitamins, minerals and amino acids essential for microbial growth. Dextrose is the fermentable carbohydrate providing carbon and energy. Sodium chloride supplies essential electrolytes for transport and osmotic balance. Dipotassium phosphate acts as a buffer system. Tween 80 and soya lecithin neutralize quaternary ammonium compounds and parahydroxy benzoates.
