Overview
TAT Broth Base is a base medium to which supplements are added per the method, a selective medium for food and clinical testing that suppresses competing flora and makes target colonies recognisable. Contains neutralisers; used in microbiological testing of cosmetics and personal care products. STBIO manufactures it from food-grade raw materials in an ISO 22000 certified facility, with a COA for every batch. This is the Halal-certified version.
How selective media fit into the testing workflow
Pathogen testing normally runs in three stages: a pre-enrichment medium such as Buffered Peptone Water repairs injured cells and raises numbers, a selective enrichment then suppresses competing flora, and finally a selective differential agar isolates the target colonies. Selective agents are typically bile salts, dyes, or antibiotics; differential agents make target colonies develop a characteristic colour or morphology. Choose the combination specified by the method you follow.

Frequently asked questions

02How much powder per litre?
Use 25 g per litre of deionised water; preparation and sterilisation conditions are given on the specification sheet.
