M-LAURYL SULPHATE BROTH

M-lauryl sulphate broth is used for the enumeration of coliforms in water, using membrane filter. Scientist ?Burman? substituted Teepol in place of bile salts in the Membrane Enriched Teepol Broth, a membrane filtration test medium used to detect coliform organisms in water. Membrane Lauryl Sulphate Broth is similar to Membrane Enriched Teepol Broth except that the selective agent Teepol has been replaced by 0.1% (w/v) sodium lauryl sulphate. The composition & performance criteria of this medium are as per the specifications laid down in ISO 9308-1:2000.
