CASITONE

Casitone is a pancreatic digests of casein. It is recommended for preparing media where an enzymatic hydrolyzed casein is desired. The manufacturing process for an enzymatic digest of casein is not as destructive as an acid hydrolysis. Thus, the casein is not broken down as completely into its constituent components. Casein is a rich source of amino nitrogen. Casitone is used to grow fastidious microorganisms and also it?s suitable for use in fermentation studies. Casitone is also widely utilized in sterility testing media, coliform enumeration formulations, and specialized broths for microbial cultivation. Its high tryptophan content enhances its usefulness in indole detection, while its consistent quality ensures dependable laboratory performance.

Casitone is used in preparing microbiological culture media requiring free amino acids, especially for toxin and vaccine production.
