Intended Use
D/E Neutralizing Broth is specifically designed for the testing and neutralization of antiseptics and disinfectants in laboratory settings. Its efficacy is crucial for accurate microbial testing.
Product Summary and Explanation
D/E Neutralizing Broth has been meticulously developed by Dey and Engley to neutralize a broad spectrum of disinfectants and preservative antimicrobial chemicals. This includes, but is not limited to, quaternary ammonium compounds, phenolics, iodine, chlorine preparations, mercurials, formaldehyde, and glutaraldehyde. Unlike standard neutralizing formulations such as Letheen media, Thioglycollate media, and Neutralizing Buffer, D/E Neutralizing Broth is adept at neutralizing higher concentrations of residual antimicrobials.
Complete neutralization of disinfectants is paramount; any disinfectant residues present can lead to false-negative results in microbial tests. The unique composition of D/E Neutralizing Broth effectively neutralizes the inhibitor action of disinfectant carryover, allowing for a clear distinction between bacteriostasis and the actual bactericidal action of disinfectants. This characteristic is vital for any thorough evaluation of disinfectants.
D/E Neutralizing Broth is highly recommended for use in disinfectant evaluations, environmental sampling utilizing swab and contact plate methods, and in the assessment of water-miscible cosmetics. Ensure your testing procedures yield accurate results by integrating D/E Neutralizing Broth into your laboratory practices.
