Cultured Media Products >
An excllent broad spectrum vial for the detection of anaerobic bacteria. It will accurately measure
sulfate reducers as well, but is not specific to this type of bacteria. Operators experiencing difficulties
associated with the testing of "sour" water may use this formula to obtain a 'worst-case' number for sulfate
reducers.
A slight, uniform turbidity is present in the sterile, unused vial, but the turbidity of a positive test is
very obvious when compared with an unused vial. Since no iron is added, the media will not blacken in the
presence of H2S.
Normal salinity is 2,500 ppm as NaCl, but this can be varied to match the sample. Shelf life is 6 months if
refrigerated and bottles come 288 per case standard.
