MSRV Medium

Modified Semi-Solid Rappaport-Vassiliadis Agar (MSRV) is a selective medium historically used for the isolation of Salmonella in chocolate and other food products. It is also widely used in animal health: in particular with mammals, poultry and in animal production facilities. It is also recommended for us in the detection of motile Salmonellae in animal fecal matter and in environmental samples in the context of primary animal production.

This medium is not recommended for immobile Salmonellae (Salmonella Gallinarum and Pullorum).
The typical composition responds to that defined in the standards NF EN ISO 6579-1/A1, NF U47-100, NF U47-101 and NF U47-102.

Available in the following formats:

Dehydrated base medium without Novobiocin (BK134HA): 500 g bottle
Dehydrated medium (BK191HA): 500 g bottle

The Novobiocin supplement is required for BK134HA: BS03308 & BS05608

Also available as ready-to-melt medium (BM12708): 10 vials of 200 ml

In compliance with regulatory requirements, a USDA permit (VS 16-3) is mandatory for shipments from Canada to the USA due to the inclusion of peptone, an animal byproduct.
