Rapid Coliform Detection MUGal Broth for Food & Water

Description

MUGal Broth for Rapid Coliform Detection

MUGal Broth is a specialized growth medium designed for the rapid detection of coliform bacteria in food, beverages, and drinking water. As quality control becomes increasingly critical in the food and beverage industry, MUGal Broth stands out as a reliable solution for laboratories seeking swift and accurate results. This versatile medium ensures compliance with safety regulations while promoting public health by facilitating prompt testing of potential contaminants.

Key Components and Formula

The formulation of MUGal Broth includes several carefully selected ingredients that enhance its effectiveness in detecting coliforms:

• Pancreatic Casein Peptone: 20.0 g/L – This component provides essential nutrients for bacterial growth.
• Sodium Chloride: 5.0 g/L – Maintains osmotic balance and enhances microbial viability.
• Dipotassium Hydrogen Phosphate: 2.75 g/L – Acts as a buffering agent to stabilize pH levels.
• Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate: 2.75 g/L – Further supports pH stability and nutrient availability.
• Sodium Lauryl Sulfate: 0.1 g/L – A surfactant that helps in isolating coliforms from various samples.
• MUGal: 0.08 g/L – This unique compound is key for the selective detection of coliform bacteria.

The final pH of the broth is maintained at 7.1 ± 0.1 at 25°C, creating optimal conditions for the growth of coliforms.

Directions for Use

Preparing MUGal Broth is straightforward. Begin by suspending 30.7g of the medium in 1000ml of distilled water. Following this, transfer 9ml of the prepared medium into 20mm × 150mm test tubes. Sterilization is crucial; autoclave the tubes at 116°C for 10 minutes to eliminate any potential contaminants. Once cooled, aseptically add 0.1ml of sterile water to dilute with a 500 µg/ml cefsulodin liquid. This preparation method ensures that the broth provides a suitable environment for the rapid growth of coliform bacteria.
