Use Lactose Broth to create a liquid medium for use in the performance or confirmation of the presumptive test for coliforms in water and food samples as specified by the American Public Health Association. Lactose Broth can be inoculated with dilutions of the samples and incubated at 35°C. Examination for gas formation is carried out after 24 and 48 hours incubation. This presumptive evidence of coliform organisms must be confirmed by further tests.
Convenient
  • Quick and easy to prepare — just add deionized water through filter sterilization to each Dry-Bag, and they are ready to use in minutes. Pre-sterilized water can also be added under aseptic conditions.
Cost-Effective
  • Light to transport — there is no weighing of media or sterilization required, reducing the burden on media preparation departments and equipment.
Safe
  • No handling of glassware or weighing of culture media required, no need to add supplementary reagents — empty bags can be disposed of with normal laboratory waste.
Quality Guaranteed
  • Quality certificates are available for every batch to help reduce the burden of QC testing.
Workflow
  • Dry-Bags are easily adaptable to laboratory workflows and equipment such as automated diluters.
Easy-To-Use
  • Dry-Bags are easy to fill and dispense with minimum training.
Space-Saving
  • Conveniently packed in flat boxes of five or ten, Dry-Bags take up relatively little space compared to prepared media and can be made up as required.
Re-hydrated Dry-Bags medium can be stored for 3 days at room temp (away from strong light sources) and are available with filters attached for convenience or without filters as a lower-cost option. For those Dry-Bags supplied without filters, autoclavable, reusable filters are also available (DB0200A). For added convenience, it is recommended that the Dry-Bags be filled using the Thermo Scientific Peristaltic Pump (DB2000A or DB3000A) and dispensed using the Thermo Scientific Automated Diluter (DB4000A).
