Mueller-Hinton Broth Tube (9ml) for Antibiotic Sensitivity Testing
The Mueller-Hinton Broth Tube (9ml) serves as an essential tool for microbiology laboratories engaged in antibiotic sensitivity testing. Each box contains 20 individually packaged tubes, which ensures optimal sterility and prevents contamination. With a shelf life of six months, these tubes provide a reliable solution for both clinical and research applications.
Key Features
Mueller-Hinton Broth features high-quality ingredients, including beef extract and casein hydrolysate. These components offer crucial nitrogen sources, vitamins, and amino acids that support robust bacterial growth. Additionally, the inclusion of soluble starch helps absorb toxic metabolic byproducts, which is vital for obtaining accurate testing results. Therefore, this broth is ideal for evaluating the effectiveness of various antibiotics against common pathogens.
Quality Control and Testing
To achieve effective antibiotic sensitivity testing, labs should inoculate the broth with standardized quality control strains. The following table outlines these strains:
| Quality Control Strain | Strain Number | Inoculum Amount (CFU) | Growth Condition | Other Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Escherichia coli | ATCC25922 | 10 – 100 | +++ | Turbid |
| Pseudomonas aeruginosa | ATCC27853 | 10 – 100 | +++ | Turbid |
| Staphylococcus aureus | ATCC25923 | 10 – 100 | +++ | Turbid |
| Bacillus subtilis | ATCC6633 | 10 – 100 | +++ | Turbid |
These standardized conditions allow laboratories to evaluate antibiotic efficacy consistently, making the Mueller-Hinton Broth Tube an indispensable tool for microbiological studies.
Optimal Use and Packaging
Each Mueller-Hinton Broth Tube comes in a 9ml plastic tube, sealed in an individual package that prevents leaks. This design not only preserves sterility but also facilitates easy handling during experiments. Laboratories can prepare the media according to the label instructions and incubate it at 36±1°C for 18-24 hours under aerobic conditions.
