Product Code TM 1740
Description
This medium is used in the assay of commercial preparations of antibiotics, as well as for antibiotics in body fluids, feeds etc. Medium composition is in accordance to the specifications detailed in the IP, FDA. The pH-7.9 maintained in this medium- provides optimum growth conditions for Bacillus subtilis. This medium is used to prepare the base as well as seed layer in the microbiological assay of antibiotics such as Framycetin and Kanamycin B. To perform the antibiotic assay the Base Agar should be prepared on the same day as the test. For the cylinder method, a base layer of 21 ml is required. Once the base medium has solidified, seed layer inoculated with the standardized test culture can be overlaid. Even distribution of the layer is important.
