Description

mCPC Medium for Vibrio Isolation – FDA Compliant Culture Medium with Babio-4151 Additives

Product Overview

Discover the mCPC Medium, a specialized culture medium designed for the effective isolation of Vibrio species, including Vibrio vulnificus, adhering to FDA standards. This high-performance medium is enriched with essential nutrients and inhibitors, making it the go-to solution for microbiology labs focused on aquatic pathogens.

Key Features

  • FDA-Standard Formulation: Compliant with regulatory standards for safe and reliable testing.
  • Efficient Isolation of Vibrio: Specifically tailored for isolating pathogenic Vibrio species, crucial for food safety and aquatic health studies.
  • Nutrient-Rich Composition: Contains pancreatic digest of casein, beef extract powder, and sodium chloride to provide a robust growth environment.
  • Effective Inhibitors: Polymyxin B and E effectively inhibit non-target bacteria such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus, ensuring selective growth.
  • Easy to Use: Quick preparation process—just mix with distilled water and additives, then pour into plates without the need for autoclaving.
  • pH Monitoring: Utilizes bromothymol blue and cresol red as pH indicators to monitor bacterial fermentation and acid production.

Ingredients (gm/liter)

  • Pancreatic Digest of Casein: 10.0
  • Sodium Chloride: 20.0
  • Agar: 15.0
  • Bromothymol Blue: 0.04
  • Cresol Red: 0.04
  • Beef Extract Powder: 5.0

Final pH: 7.5-7.7 at 25℃

Preparation Instructions

  1. Suspend 5.0 g of mCPC Medium in 90 mL of distilled water.
  2. Heat to boiling and dissolve completely.
  3. Cool to 48-55℃.
  4. Add 10 mL of HB4151b 10% Cellobiose Solution and one HB4151a mCPC Supplement.
  5. Mix thoroughly and pour into plates—no autoclaving required.

Principle and Interpretation

The mCPC Medium provides a comprehensive nutrient base, essential for the growth of Vibrio species. Peptones and beef extract supply vital carbon and nitrogen sources, while sodium chloride maintains osmotic balance. Cellobiose serves as a fermentable sugar, enabling Vibrio vulnificus to produce acid and change the medium’s color to yellow, aiding in visual identification.

Precautions

  • For laboratory use only.
  • Do not use dried medium that is past its shelf life, shows signs of caking, or has color variations.

Storage Conditions and Shelf Life

  • Storage: Keep tightly capped in the original container at 5-30°C.
  • Shelf Life: Dried medium lasts for 3 years from the manufacturing date. Prepared medium should be stored at 2-8°C and shielded from direct light.
