Growth supplement for Legionella isolation
Applications
Packaging
Aseptically reconstitute 1 vial with 10 ml of sterile distilled water. Mix gently until complete dissolution and aseptically add to 90 ml of LEGIONELLA CYE AGAR BASE (Cat. 1311), autoclaved and cooled to 45-50°C. If further selectivity is desired, add 1 ml of 1 vial of LEGIONELLA GVPC SUPPLEMENT (Cat. 6025), previously reconstituted with 5 ml of sterile water/acetone 1:1 (see Preparation of Cat. 6025). Mix well and distribute into sterile containers.
Note: The apparent lack of uniformity (white - beige to reddish - amber) is due to slight temperature differences that the vials are subject to depending on their position within the trays during the lyophilisation process. This does not affect content or optimum performance.
