4 READY-TO-RECONSTITUTE MEDIA µprep READY TO RECONSTITUTE MEDIA Product code Quantity µprep NEW µprep BPW (ISO) MPB001 Box of 10 bags Formulated to ISO 6579, Buffered Peptone Water (ISO) is a pre-enrichment medium designed to help sublethally damaged salmonellae recover before introducing them into a selective medium. This nutrient medium is free from inhibitors and is well buffered to maintain ph 7.0 for the incubation period. Sublethal injury to salmonellae occurs in many food processes and this pre-enrichment step greatly increases recovery of these organisms. µprep BPW (ISO) is supplied as a ready-to-reconstitute bag, sufficient for the preparation of 20 litres BPW (ISO). µprep bags are connected to a reverse osmosis (RO)/deionised water supply and the water is sterilised as it is pumped via a membrane filter into the bag NEW µprep Filter Unit MPA001 1 Filter Unit Used with Lab M µprep bags, the µprep Filter Unit is a device for the filter-sterilisation of reverse osmosis (RO)/deionised water. The µprep Filter Unit should be sterilised prior to use. µprep Filter Units may be sterilised and reused for upto 100 litres or 5 filled (20 litre) bags NEW µprep Quick Connectors MPA002 1 box of 10 Used with Lab M µprep bags, the µprep Quick Connectors may be attached to tubing sets for the dispensing of reconstitued media. The µprep Quick Connectors should be attached to tubing and sterilised prior to use. µprep Quick Connectors may be rinsed, resterilised and reused THE GATEWAY TO MICROBIOLOGY 3
