Description
Buffered Peptone Water (BPW) is a high-performance pre-enrichment medium used to detect Salmonella and Enterobacter sakazakii in food safety and clinical diagnostics. This culture medium allows bacteria to recover from stress conditions, ensuring accurate detection.
Key Features:
- Salmonella Detection: BPW supports the early detection of Salmonella. It is widely used in food microbiology and clinical labs to identify this pathogen in food, water, and environmental samples.
- Enterobacter sakazakii Recovery: BPW enhances the recovery of Enterobacter sakazakii, a bacterium often found in infant formula. It ensures accurate testing in products where bacterial contamination is critical.
- Optimized Formula: The medium contains peptic digest of animal tissue, sodium chloride, disodium hydrogen phosphate, and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. It maintains an ideal pH of 7.2 ± 0.2, allowing optimal growth conditions for bacterial recovery.
Applications:
Buffered Peptone Water is essential for food safety testing and microbiological research. It helps recover stressed or injured bacteria, such as Salmonella and Enterobacter sakazakii, from processed foods, water, and clinical samples. This process ensures accurate detection and enhances overall test reliability.
Preparation Instructions:
Dissolve 20.0g of Buffered Peptone Water in 1 liter of distilled water. Sterilize at 121°C for 15 minutes using an autoclave. Store in a dark, dry place to maintain the medium’s efficacy.
Why Choose Buffered Peptone Water?
BPW ensures reliable results for laboratories testing Salmonella and Enterobacter sakazakii. By aiding the recovery of stressed bacteria, it improves detection accuracy, particularly in processed food products. Additionally, using BPW in your pre-enrichment process reduces the risk of missing pathogens, making it a key component for food safety and clinical diagnostics. This medium plays a crucial role in protecting public health and improving quality control in diverse industries.
