Application

The m-CP Agar Base with selective supplement is recommended by the Directive of the Council of the European Union 98/83/EC for isolation and enumeratin of Clostridium perfringens from water samples using membrane filtration technique.

Preparation Note

Suspend 35.6 g in 485 ml distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 1 bar pressure (121 °C) for 15 minutes. Cool to 50 °C. Aseptically add the rehydrated contents of 1 vial of M-CP Selective Supplement I (Cat. No. 51962) and 1 vial of M-CP Selective Supplement II (Cat. No. 82265). Mix well and pour into sterile petri plates.

Other Notes

Medium for the assay of water for Clostridium perfringens; EU 98/83/EC Council 3rd November 1998 on quality of water intended for human consumption

Footnote

We offer two media types: the superior granulated GranuCult® and the cost-efficient powdered NutriSelect® culture media, depending on your needs.
