Maximum Recovery Diluent combines the protective effect of peptone in the diluting solution1 with the osmotic support of physiological saline1,2. The low peptone concentration in the diluent reduces organism multiplication in the sample for at least 45 minutes during the dilution stage1,2. Maintain the viability of organisms during the dilution process with Maximum Recovery Diluent with low levels of peptone.

• Allows accurate quantitative procedures to be performed with minimal reduction in viable count.
• Reduces organism multiplication in the sample for at least one hour during the dilution stage.

The presence of peptone in the diluent provides viable counts to ensure accurate quantitative procedures are performed. The isotonic strength of the diluent ensures recovery of organisms from various sources which may be vulnerable in distilled water or aqueous suspensions.
