BUFFERED NaCl-PEPTONE SOLUTION (as per USP/EP/JP/BP) (VEG.)

Buffered Sodium Chloride-Peptone Solution (Veg.) is recommended for preparation of stable test strain suspensions of
organisms for testing growth promoting and inhibitory properties of media when examining non-sterile pharmaceutical
products for specified microorganisms. The composition of this medium is in accordance with the harmonized
methodology of USP/EP/BP/JP/IP. This medium is recommended for preparation of stable test strain suspension
employed for validating the microbiological testing procedures of non-sterile products. The standardized stable
suspensions are used so that the suitability of this test to detect microorganism in presence of product can be established.
Non-fatty products insoluble in water and water-soluble products are diluted/dissolved using this solution.
