BD 297307 - Chopped Meat Carbohydrate Broth Dehydrated Medium for Anaerobic Bacteria Cultivation

BD 297307 - Chopped Meat Carbohydrate Broth Dehydrated Medium for Anaerobic Bacteria Cultivation

The BD 297307 Chopped Meat Carbohydrate Broth is a specialized dehydrated microbiological medium formulated for the cultivation, maintenance, and biochemical testing of anaerobic bacteria. This medium incorporates finely chopped meat particles along with essential nutrients and carbohydrates, creating a highly reduced environment that supports the growth of fastidious anaerobic organisms.

Designed to simulate natural conditions favorable for anaerobic bacteria, the medium provides both a nutrient-rich liquid phase and a solid meat substrate, which helps maintain reduced oxidation-reduction potential. This dual-phase environment enhances microbial recovery and supports metabolic activity, making it particularly valuable in clinical microbiology and research laboratories.

The inclusion of carbohydrates allows for fermentation studies, enabling laboratories to evaluate metabolic characteristics of anaerobic organisms while maintaining optimal growth conditions.

Key Benefits

The enriched formulation supports the growth of fastidious anaerobic bacteria, improving recovery rates from clinical and environmental samples.

The chopped meat component helps maintain a reduced environment, which is critical for anaerobic organism viability.

Carbohydrate inclusion enables fermentation testing, supporting biochemical differentiation and analysis.

The dehydrated format allows for convenient storage, long shelf life, and consistent preparation.

Compatibility and Applications

BD Chopped Meat Carbohydrate Broth is compatible with standard anaerobic culture systems, including anaerobic jars, chambers, and incubation systems. It integrates seamlessly into microbiology workflows focused on anaerobic organism cultivation.

Common applications include isolation and maintenance of anaerobic bacteria, fermentation studies, diagnostic microbiology, and research involving Clostridium and other anaerobic species. It is widely used in hospitals, diagnostic laboratories, research institutions, and pharmaceutical environments.

Usage Guidelines

Reconstitute the dehydrated medium using distilled or deionized water according to the manufacturers instructions. Dispense into appropriate containers and sterilize as recommended.

Inoculate the medium under anaerobic conditions using aseptic techniques. Incubate in an anaerobic environment to support optimal microbial growth.

Observe for growth characteristics and fermentation reactions as part of biochemical analysis. Refer to the product insert for detailed preparation and usage instructions.
