BD 211088 - BBL Brucella Agar Broth, 500 g Dehydrated Culture Medium,EA
The BD 211088 BBL Brucella Agar Broth is a specialized microbiological culture medium formulated for the isolation and cultivation of Brucella species. This nutrient-rich medium is used in both clinical diagnostics and research for detecting and maintaining Brucella cultures, which are responsible for brucellosis in humans and animals. The dehydrated format ensures easy preparation of the broth as needed.
Manufactured by BD, this Brucella Agar Broth is ideal for laboratories that need to culture fastidious microorganisms, particularly Brucella species, while ensuring reliable and reproducible results.
Key Benefits
Supports the selective growth of Brucella species and other fastidious organisms. Dehydrated format allows for flexible preparation and long shelf life. Reliable nutrient composition supports consistent growth and enrichment of Brucella species. Ideal for diagnostic and research microbiology labs focused on zoonotic infections and microbial studies.
Compatibility and Applications
The BD 211088 BBL Brucella Agar Broth is compatible with standard microbiological equipment, including autoclaves, incubators, and sterile culture flasks or tubes. It is widely used in hospital microbiology laboratories, research institutions, public health facilities, and veterinary laboratories for the study of Brucella and other related bacteria.
Common applications include the isolation of Brucella species from clinical specimens, including blood, tissue samples, and animal-related materials, as well as in the investigation of zoonotic diseases such as brucellosis.
Usage Guidelines
Prepare the broth by dissolving the dehydrated powder in purified water according to the manufacturer's instructions. Sterilize by autoclaving, and allow it to cool. Dispense into sterile culture flasks or tubes, and inoculate with Brucella or other target microorganisms using aseptic technique. Incubate under appropriate conditions based on the organisms requirements, typically at 37C in an aerobic or microaerophilic environment.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
BD microbiology culture media are produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch consistency and reliable laboratory performance. Quality control testing is performed to verify growth-promoting characteristics, ensuring that the medium supports accurate microbial recovery and is suitable for diagnostic use in clinical laboratories.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared with generic Brucella media, BD BBL Brucella Agar Broth offers optimized nutrient levels to support the growth of Brucella species and other fastidious microorganisms. BD's culture media are trusted by laboratories for their consistency, high-quality formulation, and dependable performance across microbiological workflows.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This product is used by clinical microbiologists, research scientists, public health professionals, and veterinary microbiologists who need to isolate and study Brucella species. It is particularly useful in research laboratories investigating zoonotic diseases and in clinical settings diagnosing brucellosis.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store the dehydrated medium in a cool, dry location, away from moisture and contamination. Always seal the container tightly after use. Prepare media using calibrated equipment and validated sterilization procedures. Perform routine quality control testing using known control strains to confirm the expected growth performance and consistency.
Regulatory and Safety Information
Although the medium is a laboratory reagent and not a direct patient-use medical device, it is manufactured under strict quality control systems to meet regulatory standards for clinical laboratory use. Proper biosafety and disposal protocols should be followed when handling cultures containing potentially pathogenic organisms like Brucella.
