  • Description

    Alkaline Peptone Water is a pre-enrichment medium specially standardized for Vibrio species.

This medium is recommended by APHA for enrichment of Vibrio species from seafood, infectious materials and other Clinical samples like swabs and faeces in food and water samples can be added directly to the medium.
