The Oxoid range of products for use in aseptic process simulations in the pharmaceutical industry includes Cold filterable Tryptone Soya Broth (cfTSB) and Cold filterable Vegetable Peptone Broth (VPB). These high quality media are ideal for use as a liquid placebo or as a growth medium added after processing of a solid placebo.
Oxoid Cold filterable TSB and VPB are now available in 10 and 20 litre volume BioProcess Containers (BPCs); other sizes are custom-made. BPCs are single-use, flexible, low-density polyethylene storage containers engineered specifically for pharmaceutical applications.
