Neogen® Swab-Sampler with Letheen Broth - 5 mL - 100 per case

Quantity

Neogen® Swab-Sampler with 5 mL Letheen Broth is a convenient and quick collection device for environmental sampling and testing over small surface areas.

Sample collection is easy with the attached swab. The vial provides ample headspace for sample addition and vortexing to release organisms from the swab. This sampling device is decontaminated through gamma irradiation for long shelf life. The Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) approach is the most widely accepted food safety management protocol worldwide. Sample collection products from Neogen® are a crucial part of this approach to identify potential food-borne hazards and pinpoint where they reside. Portability, stable enrichment media, and easy-to-handle swabs and sponges are designed to test for a wide variety of potential hazards and deliver accurate results. They are engineered to safely gather, hold, and secure contents from the collection site to the lab without leaking or compromising the sample.

The primary use of Letheen Broth is to neutralise the bactericidal action of quaternary ammonium compounds and for determining the phenol coefficient of cationic surfactants. Letheen Broth is also used in hygiene swabbing practices where neutralising quaternary ammonium compounds are required.

Sabouraud Dextrose Agar with Chloramphenicol is used for the selective isolation of fungi in a laboratory setting. Sabouraud Dextrose Agar with Chloramphenicol is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) is a modification of Dextrose Agar described by Sabouraud. Sabouraud Dextrose Agar is used for cultivating pathogenic and commensal fungi and yeasts. The high dextrose concentration and acidic pH of the formula permits selectivity of fungi. This medium is beneficial in sporulation studies and pigment production. Sabouraud Dextrose Agar is used for determining the microbial content of cosmetics and in the mycological evaluation of food. Sabouraud Dextrose Agar with Chloramphenicol is a modification of Sabouraud Dextrose Agar, with the addition of Chloramphenicol to increase selectivity against commensal microorganisms.

YM Broth - 500 g

YM Broth is used for the cultivation of fungi in a laboratory setting. YM Broth is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. YM Broth is prepared according to the formulation published by Wickerham. Wickerham suggested that YM Broth, acidified to pH 3.0 – 4.0, be used as an enrichment medium for yeasts from populations also containing bacteria and molds. To favor isolation of fermentative species, add a layer of sterile paraffin oil 1 cm deep on the surface of the inoculated broth. Cultures should be incubated until growth appears, and then streaked onto YM Agar to obtain isolated yeast colonies. To isolate fermentative and oxidative strains, place acidified inoculated YM Broth on a rotary shaker for 1 to 2 days. This favors yeast recovery while preventing sporulation of molds. Media selectivity may be enhanced through acidification or addition of selective agents. YM Broth may be acidified prior to sterilization.

Modified Tryptone-Soy Broth has emerged as the medium of choice for the enrichment of E. coli O157:H7 in red meats and is incorporated into ISO/TS 13136:2012. This medium is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. Concern regarding E. coli O157:H7 has grown due to the severity of the disease syndromes caused, and the increase in foodborne infection, so too has the need to optimize methods for its efficient isolation. Symptoms start with severe stomach cramps and watery, bloody diarrhea, and a percentage of individuals infected will develop Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome (HUS) leading to acute renal failure. In a comparison of four different selective broth media, MTSB was the most productive and selective for the isolation of E. coli O157:H7. mTSB is made selective for O157:H7 by including bile salts in the dehydrated medium, and the addition of novobiocin supplement (X150).

Traditionally, the bud on the swab has consisted of a spun fibre such as cotton, rayon, polyester or calcium alginate wound round the end of the shaft which would be wood, plastic or wire. In recent years, novel bud materials have been introduced, such as soft cellular polyurethane foam, or flocked fibres which can give improved uptake and release of specimens. Medical Wire have extensive ranges of swabs utilising either spun fibres, cellular foam, or multifilament flock fibres, with something suitable for many applications.

Eosin Methylene Blue Agar Levine is used for the isolation and differentiation of Gram-negative enteric bacilli and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. This medium was introduced in 1916 by Holt-Harris and Teague to differentiate Escherichia spp. and Aerobacter spp. It was modified by Levine in 1918 who removed sucrose from the formula and increased the lactose content. The distinctive metallic sheen produced by E. coli on this medium is due to acid production resulting in an amide bonding between the eosin and methylene blue, other coliforms do not produce enough acid to cause this reaction. Eosin inhibits most Gram-positive organisms. The prepared medium is sensitive to light.
