Directions
Suspend 29.5 g of dehydrated powder in 1 litre of distilled water
distribute into final containers. Mix well to dissolve completely. Sterilise
by autoclaving at 121°C
for 15 minutes. If the reconstituted medium has been stored
prior to use, remove dissolved oxygen by placing the tubes in a boiling water
bath for 15 minutes and cool without agitation before inoculation.
Description
Vegetable Peptone Phosphate broth has been designed to be comparable
to Tryptose Phosphate Broth, a buffered dextrose broth for the growth of fastidious
microorganisms.
Tryptose Phosphate Broth is also used for tissue culture. Vegetable Peptone Phosphate
Broth has been tested using Baby Hamster Kidney 21 (BHK 21) cells
and is suitable for use in place of standard Tryptose Phosphate Broth.
Vegetable Peptone Phosphate Broth is made from raw materials that are free
from any animal derived products and are GMO free.
