Description
Cary-Blair Transport Medium is a vital tool for microbiology labs, designed to ensure the safe transportation of intestinal bacteria specimens. This medium is specifically formulated to maintain microbial viability during transport, making it ideal for clinical diagnostics, food safety testing, and research applications.
Key Features:
- Optimal Microbial Viability: Low oxidation/reduction potential promotes long-term bacterial survival, essential for accurate lab results.
- Balanced Nutrient Composition: Contains sodium thioglycolate, calcium chloride, and sodium chloride to maintain osmotic balance and cellular integrity.
- Buffering Capability: Disodium hydrogen phosphate and calcium chloride provide a stable pH of 8.4±0.2, ensuring an optimal environment for microbial life.
- User-Friendly Preparation: Easy to prepare by dissolving 12.7g of medium in one liter of distilled water, boiling, and dispensing into sterile test tubes.
Applications: Cary-Blair Medium is particularly effective for transporting specimens in clinical microbiology, environmental testing, and research involving gastrointestinal pathogens. Its robust formulation supports a wide range of bacteria, enhancing the reliability of diagnostics.
Storage and Shelf Life:
- Dehydrated Medium: Store tightly capped at 5-30°C with a shelf life of 3 years from the manufacturing date.
- Prepared Medium: Keep out of direct light at 2-8°C for optimal performance, usable for up to 2 weeks.
Quality Control: Cultural characteristics are verified after incubation at 20-25°C for 48 hours, ensuring the reliability of results upon testing on blood agar plates.
Appearance:
- Dehydrated form: Free-flowing white powder.
- Prepared form: Milky white transparent gel.
Precautions: For laboratory use only. Do not use dried medium past its shelf life, or if caked or discolored.
