How should dehydrated media and peptones be stored, and how long after opening can they be used?

Unopened

  • Store at 2 to 30 °C, dry and away from light, with the cap or bag tightly sealed.
  • The expiry on the label and specification sheet applies to unopened containers stored correctly.
  • Avoid refrigerator doors and other places where condensation forms; temperature swings do more harm than room temperature itself.

After opening

  • Dehydrated media and peptones are hygroscopic. Reseal immediately after each use; split large packs into smaller portions or add a desiccant to the pack.
  • Use within about six months of opening. If the powder is still free-flowing, the colour and odour are unchanged and the solution is clear, the product is normally still fit for use.
  • Prepared broths and plates have their own shelf life: poured plates typically keep two to four weeks refrigerated, less when they contain antibiotics or dyes.

Signs of deterioration

  • Hard caking or a clearly darker colour.
  • Cloudiness or undissolved particles after preparation.
  • pH outside specification after preparation.
  • Reduced performance: control strains grow less well than before.

Do not use a deteriorated lot for routine testing. Switch to a fresh lot and keep a sample of the old one for investigation.
