Casein Peptone Lecithin Polysorbate Broth

Casein Peptone Lecithin Polysorbate Broth contains relatively high casein peptone that provides optimal conditions for the spore germination and regeneration of microorganisms. The neutralizing additives reverse the growth inhibitory effect of most disinfectants and antiseptics. Lecithin from soya inactivates cetrimide, chlorohexidine, chlorinated phenols, desqualinium acetate, and polymyxin B. Polysorbate (Tween^®) 20 inactivates phenols, phenol derivates, benzoic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, and their esters. The combination of lecithin and polysorbate (Tween^®) 20 inactivates many antimicrobial compounds such as quaternary ammonium and phosphonium compounds.

Casein Peptone Lecithin Polysorbate Broth (TAT Broth) is used for diluting samples of pharmaceutical, cosmetic and other raw materials or final products when determining microbial counts.

Our ready to use media provide the highest level of quality and testing confidence. They have been formulated and tested to meet the pharmacopoeia requirements. Our media are manufactured in an ISO 9001, environmentally controlled production center. Each lot undergoes a stringent quality control (QC) procedure, including pH, sterility and growth promotion tests. Our manufacturing approach ensures the highest level of clarity for our media and rinsing fluids, therefore improving accuracy and significantly reducing the risk of incorrect interpretation and false results.
