BD 273000 - Brilliant Green Bile Broth 2% Selective Medium for Coliform Detection
The BD 273000 Brilliant Green Bile Broth 2% is a selective microbiological medium formulated for the detection and confirmation of coliform bacteria in water, food, and dairy products. The combination of brilliant green dye and bile salts inhibits Gram-positive organisms and many Gram-negative non-coliform bacteria, allowing selective growth of coliforms.
This medium is widely used in multiple-tube fermentation techniques for coliform testing. Gas production and turbidity serve as indicators of coliform presence, supporting accurate and efficient microbial analysis in quality control and public health settings.
Key Benefits
Selective formulation promotes growth of coliform bacteria while inhibiting non-target organisms.
Supports reliable detection through gas production and turbidity observation.
Ideal for confirmatory testing in coliform analysis.
Consistent formulation ensures reproducible and accurate results.
Compatibility and Applications
BD Brilliant Green Bile Broth is compatible with standard laboratory equipment, including fermentation tubes, incubators, and microbiological workflows.
Common applications include water quality testing, food safety analysis, dairy product testing, and environmental monitoring. It is widely used in public health laboratories, food testing facilities, and research institutions.
Usage Guidelines
Reconstitute the dehydrated medium using distilled or deionized water according to manufacturer instructions and sterilize as recommended.
Dispense into tubes containing inverted Durham tubes if gas detection is required.
Inoculate with the test sample and incubate under appropriate conditions. Observe for gas production and turbidity indicating coliform presence.
