Description

General description

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 irradiated for the microbiological validation of aseptic filling processes (media fill test or aseptic process simulation. The product is 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.

Application

The broth is suitable for Aseptic Process simulation (APS) according to the recommendations of the “FDA Aseptic Guide” and EU GMP Annex 1 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.

Other Notes

Mode of action: The microbiological performance of TSB non-animal origin is equivalent to the standard TSB. The dehydrated culture medium is irradiated. 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.
