COMPASS® Bacillus Plus Agar (RTU)

Reference : BM21308

CAD$97.80

COMPASS® Bacillus cereus Agar and COMPASS® Bacillus Plus Agar methods are NF VALIDATION certified for the enumeration of Bacillus cereus group bacteria, without colony confirmation, according to the 2016 ISO 16140- 2 validation protocol, for all food and feed products.

Refer to the certificate available on the NF VALIDATION website for the end of validity date of the method. The reference method used for the validation is the ISO 7932 standard.

Available as: ready-to-use medium: 20 Petri plates Ø 90 mm

Can also be prepared with the following:

Dehydrated base medium: (BK189HA, 500 g bottle), with 1 ml of selective supplement (BS06908 and BS08508, according to the guidelines available in the technical sheet) and 10 ml of sterile nutritive supplement (BS06608).

OR with ready-to-melt base medium: (BM13008: available in 10 vials of 100 ml). To each 100 ml vial of base medium thus prepared or ready-to-melt (BM13008), sterilely add 10 ml of Bacillus Plus complete supplement (BS09808).

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.

QUANTITY

The chromogenic substrate included in the culture medium is hydrolyzed by the species belonging to the group Bacillus cereus; the colonies that develop present a characteristic pale green to blue-green coloration. The selective system used allows the inhibition of the majority of contaminating secondary flora.

The association between the chromogenic substrate and the selective agents in the formulation of COMPASS® Bacillus cereus Agar allows a direct enumeration of characteristic colonies after only 24 hours incubation, without confirmation.

The addition of nutritional supplement to the COMPASS Bacillus cereus Agar formulation is an NF Validation certified option that optimizes the growth of Bacillus from the cereus group and thus reduces the incubation time to 21 hours.
