D/E Neutralizing Broth w/Tween (7705)
Intended Use
D/E Neutralizing Broth w/Tween is expertly formulated for the testing and neutralizing of antiseptics and disinfectants.
Product Summary and Explanation
D/E Neutralizing Broth, developed by Dey and Engley, is a critical solution for neutralizing a wide array of disinfectants and preservative antimicrobial agents. This broth is effective against quaternary ammonium compounds, phenolics, iodine, chlorine preparations, mercurials, formaldehyde, and glutaraldehyde. Compared to standard neutralizing formulations, such as Letheen media, Thioglycollate media, and Neutralizing Buffer, D/E Neutralizing Broth w/Tween demonstrates superior efficacy in neutralizing higher concentrations of residual antimicrobials.
Ensuring total neutralization of disinfectants is paramount for accurate test results. Residual disinfectant can lead to false-negative outcomes, indicating no microbial growth when, in fact, the disinfectant's inhibitory action is at play. D/E Neutralizing Broth w/Tween proficiently counteracts this inhibitor effect, providing a reliable means to distinguish between bacteriostasis and the true bactericidal efficacy of disinfectants.
This broth is highly recommended for a variety of applications, including disinfectant evaluations, environmental sampling (using swab and contact plate methods), and the testing of water-miscible cosmetics. Its robust formulation makes it an essential tool in your laboratory or testing settings, ensuring reliable and accurate results every time.
