Millipore Fraser Broth Base is a type of liquid culture medium used in microbiology to grow bacteria, particularly those that are implicated in foodborne illness, such as Listeria monocytogenes. It is a selective medium that contains peptone, yeast extract, and other nutrients, as well as lithium chloride, which inhibits the growth of competing microorganisms.
Granulated dehydrated culture media.
ph Value: 7.0 - 7.4 (57.4 g/l, H₂O, 25 °C)
Solubility: 57.4 g/l
Fraser Broth Base is often used in conjunction with other selective and differential media, such as the Oxford Agar or Palcam Agar, to enhance the detection and isolation of Listeria monocytogenes. It is commonly used in food testing and quality control to ensure the safety and quality of food products.
To prepare Fraser Broth Base, the dehydrated medium is typically mixed with water and heated to dissolve the ingredients. The medium is then sterilized by autoclaving and distributed into sterile containers, such as test tubes or flasks, where it can be inoculated with bacteria.
