Intended Use
The Rappaport-Vassiliadis (MSRV) Medium Semisolid Modified is specifically designed for the rapid detection of motile Salmonella species in various samples, including feces and food products, when used in conjunction with Novobiocin.
Product Summary and Explanation
This advanced medium is a modification of the traditional Rappaport-Vassiliadis enrichment broth, optimized to enhance the isolation of motile Salmonella spp. The innovative semisolid formulation allows for sensitive and efficient motility assessment, showcasing its efficacy through the formation of growth halos surrounding the original inoculation point.
The MSRV Medium has earned endorsement from the European Chocolate Manufacturer’s Association, a testament to its reliability in food safety protocols. Extensive collaborative studies, supported by esteemed institutions such as the American Cocoa Research Institute, culminated in the first-action adoption of the MSRV method by AOAC International, further establishing its credibility in the industry.
With high sensitivity and specificity, the MSRV Medium not only facilitates the isolation of Salmonella species but also provides a valuable plating medium for identifying strains other than S. typhi and S. paratyphi type A from stool specimens. This makes it an indispensable tool for laboratories focused on microbiological safety in food products.
