General description

Tryptone Glucose Extract Broth is recommended for the enumeration of heterotrophic bacteria in water, air, milk, and dairy products. It is used as a standard medium for the bacteriological plate count and also can be used for the detection of thermophilic bacteria in milk and dairy products. Tryptone and yeast extract provides nitrogenous and carbonaceous compounds, long chain amino acids, vitamin B complex and other essential growth nutrients. Glucose is the energy source. Colonies appear clear to creamy white; some may produce pigment

Application

Tryptone Glucose Extract Broth is used as a non-selective medium to detect total heterotrophic microorganisms in water, dairy products and other liquids like Beer, Bottled Water, Cider, Soft Drink, Sport Drink and Wine.(2) The media finds its application in Clinical, Cosmetics, Environmental Analysis, Food and Beverage and Industrial QC.

Features and Benefits

  • Ready-to-use Liquid ampoule media solve numerous problems in microbiology laboratories where time, equipment, and trained personnel are often in short supply.
  • They are available in convenient, single-test 2 mL plastic ampoules, eliminating the manipulation of glass ampoules and avoiding the waste and spoilage associated with bulk packaged media.
