SALINE PEPTONE WATER W/ 10% NaCl (ISO 21872-1-2017)

Saline Peptone Water with 10% NaCl (ISO 21872-1:2017) is a selective enrichment medium used for salt tolerance testing for the detection and differentiation of Vibrio spp. from foods, animal feed, and environmental samples from food production and processing areas. The solid medium is prepared according to the composition and performance standards found in ISO 21872-1:2017.

High salt concentration (10% NaCl) in the medium provides a selective factor against non-halophilic bacteria, allowing the growth of halophilic Vibrios, including Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio vulnificus, and Vibrio alginolyticus from foods or environmental samples. The salt requirement of most members of Vibrio spp. is within the range of 1-10% NaCl. Saline Peptone Water with 10% NaCl can be used as a part of microbiological testing to ensure quality in food safety/quality control laboratories. The medium can be used for environmental monitoring and microbiological testing of marine products and seafood-related pathogens.

The saline peptone formulation provides a nutrient-rich source of nitrogen, carbon and complex vitamins and growth factors for bacterial growth, while sodium chloride provides osmotic stability and imparts the characteristics for salt tolerance. Most Vibrio species will grow in this medium with the exception of non-halophilic species such as Vibrio furnissii and Vibrio mimicus, which have shown limited/no growth. Formulated under the highest of quality standards, TM Media Saline Peptone Water with 10% NaCl (ISO 21872-1:2017) provides standardization of performance for your food microbiology laboratory, provides batch-to-batch reliability and is simple to prepare. TM Media Saline Peptone Water with 10%NaCl (ISO 21872-1:2017) is ideal for use by food microbiology laboratories, regulatory testing laboratories, research institutions and quality assurance laboratories undertaking ISO compliant testing for salt-tolerant Vibrio species.
