Intended Use
MacConkey Broth is expertly formulated for the qualitative detection of coliform bacteria in milk and water, fulfilling the stringent requirements of Harmonized USP/EP/JP standards.
Product Summary and Explanation
This advanced formulation of MacConkey Broth is a modification of the original bile salt broth traditionally recommended by MacConkey. It features a concentration of 0.5% sodium taurocholate, providing an enhanced environment for coliform growth. The broth includes litmus as an indicator, and alternative variations with neutral red and bromcresol purple have been thoroughly examined. Neutral red's inhibitory effects led to the adoption of bromcresol purple for better performance.
MacConkey Broth stands out due to its compliance with Harmonized United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), European Pharmacopoeia (EP), and Japanese Pharmacopoeia (JP), ensuring reliability and efficacy in laboratory and industrial applications.
