Product Summary and Explanation
Tryptose is a finely engineered enzymatic digest of protein, specifically formulated for the preparation of microbiological culture media. This formulation originated from intensive studies of the growth requirements of Brucella species, demonstrating remarkable effectiveness in supporting fastidious microorganisms. Research by Huddleson highlighted Tryptose media's ability to outperform traditional meat infusion media, delivering consistent results for organism cultivation and differentiation.
Notably, Casman's findings indicate that a medium composed of 2% Tryptose matched fresh beef infusion base in terms of organism growth, further establishing its reliability for microbiological applications. Its versatility makes Tryptose an ideal choice for broth and agar formulations, facilitating optimal conditions for biological activities and hemolytic reactions when paired with blood components.
Professionals in the laboratory environment can trust Tryptose to meet their rigorous standards and bolster their methodologies, particularly in standard protocols for food testing and the exploration of microbial behaviors.
