Excessive heating is detrimental. DO NOT STERILIZE IN AUTOCLAVE. If the broth is to be used immediately, sterilization is unnecessary. Broth which has been tubed and steamed may be kept for months under refrigeration. After a long storage period of the dehydrated medium, the colour of the prepared broth might change to reddish/red. The microbiological performance however is not affected.Caution:This medium is toxic if swallowed, inhaled or comes into contact with the skin. Wear gloves and eye/face protection.
