Peptone from Casein (Tryptone), pancreatic, free from sulfonamide antagonists


Cat. No. 1.02239.0500
(500 g)


This peptone is obtained by pancreatic degradation of casein and is used to prepare media for the cultivation of fastidious microorganisms. It contains negligible amounts of sulfonamide antagonists (p-aminobenzoic acid) and is thus utilized especially for the preparation of culture media used for testing the sensitivity of infectious microorganisms towards sulfonamides.
A BSE-free certificate is available upon request.
