Product Description: Fluid Tetrathionate Medium for Salmonella Selective Enrichment
Fluid Tetrathionate Medium is essential for selectively enriching Salmonella species. This specialized culture medium enhances Salmonella growth, making it vital for food safety testing and clinical diagnostics. By using this medium, you can improve the accuracy of Salmonella detection.
To prepare the medium, suspend 46.0 grams in 1 liter of distilled water. Heat the mixture to boiling. After cooling to about 45°C, add 20 ml of Iodine solution (I2 6g, KI 5g, distilled water 20 ml) and 10 ml of 0.1% Brilliant Green solution. This combination optimizes conditions for Salmonella growth.
The formulation includes pancreatic digest of casein, peptic digest of animal tissue, calcium carbonate, bile salts, and sodium thiosulfate. These ingredients enhance the medium’s effectiveness. Adjust the final pH to 8.4 ± 0.2 at 25°C to meet performance criteria.
For best results, supplement each bottle with three boxes of BABIO-4086a Iodine Solution and three boxes of BABIO-4086b 0.1% Brilliant Green Solution. This step ensures effective selective enrichment for Salmonella.
In summary, Fluid Tetrathionate Medium is your go-to solution for reliable Salmonella culture. Its precise formulation and easy preparation make it invaluable in laboratories focused on food safety and microbiological analysis. Whether conducting routine testing or specialized research, this medium helps you achieve accurate Salmonella detection.
