Alkali Scientific Antibiotic Assay Medium 8, 500mL Bottle, 1/Pk
Supplier: Alkali Scientific AAMB08
Antibiotic Assay Medium 8 is a standardized slightly acidic culture medium designed for microbiological potency testing of antibiotics including Vancomycin, Tetracycline, and Mitomycin C. Each 500mL bottle contains a carefully balanced agar base consisting of peptones, yeast extract, and beef extract adjusted to a pH of 5.7 ± 0.1. This acidic environment enhances the stability and biological activity of certain antibiotics that perform best under lower pH conditions. The medium provides a consistent nutrient matrix that supports the growth of assay organisms and allows antibiotics to diffuse uniformly through the agar. Clear zones of inhibition form around antibiotic samples, enabling precise potency measurements. Medium 8 is widely used in pharmaceutical quality control laboratories following USP and regulatory testing procedures.
