Enterococcus Confirmatory HiVeg Broth, 2.5KG

Enterococcus Confirmatory HiVeg™ broth is recommended for confirming the presence of Enterococci in water supplies and other sources. Enterococci are differentiated from other Streptococci by their ability to grow in 6.5% sodium chloride, at pH 9.6 and at 10°Cand 45°C. Production of acid and turbidity in an azide presumptive broth when incubated at 45°C is considered positive presumptive evidence for the presence of Enterococci which is confirmed by inoculating in /on Confirmatory broth (MV394). Enterococcus Confirmatory HiVeg™ broth, Moeller is prepared by using vegetable peptones in place of animal based peptones which make the media free of BSE/TSE risks. Application: For Laboratory Chemicals, Analytical Purpose, Biochemical Analysis Appearance of Powder: Yellow colored, may have slightly greenish tinge, homogeneous, free flowing powder Gelling: Firm, comparable with 1.5% Agar gel of MV392 Color and Clarity: Yellow colored, slightly opalescent gel of MV392 / clear solution of MV394 and MV419 forms in petri plates / tubes which acquires greenish tinge at the surface on standing Reaction: Reaction of 3.04% w/v of MV392 or 8.04% w/v of MV394 aqueous solution is pH 8.0 ± 0.2 at 25°C. Reaction of 1.54% w/v of MV419 aqueous solution is pH 8.4 ± 0.2 at 25°C
