Tryptic Soy Broth - Dehydrated Culture Media

Dehydrated culture medium with vegetable peptones as a non-animal origin alternative to Soybean Casein Digest Medium (SCDM), also referred to as Tryptic Soy Broth. The Granulated media is cold filterable and gamma-irradiated for the microbiological validation of aseptic filling processes (media fill test or aseptic process simulation. The product is gamma-irradiated and triple-bagged allowing for safe introduction into controlled areas. Cold filterability is achieved by extensive testing comprising raw materials, pre-production samples, in-process and end product control. The formulation contains peptones of nonanimal origin instead of the recommended peptones.

The broth is suitable for media fill tests according to the recommendations of the “FDA Aseptic Guide” in aseptic production lines. The exclusive use of raw materials of non-animal origin allows the elimination of a potential contamination risk with TSE/BSE.

Mode of action: The microbiological performance of TSB non-animal origin is equivalent to the standard TSB. The dehydrated culture medium is gamma-irradiated with 48-76 kGy. The intensity of irradiation guarantees that Bacteria, spores, viruses and mycoplasma are destroyed. It provides a higher level of security with regard to radiation-resistant microorganisms than other commercially available products.
