Prepared microbiology media support accurate microorganism detection, identification, and cultivation. Saving time by eliminating the requirement to complete the groundwork, the media increase the overall working efficiency for any laboratory. Minimizing the possibility of formula variability, the standardized solutions ensure that data errors do not occur. The prepared microbiology media are plated or contained in tubes to guarantee that the correct nutrient mixtures are present for specific cell types.

VWR®, Media for use in media fill test
Supplier: VWR Chemicals
Validation of aseptic processing should include a simulation test using a nutrient medium, known as the media fill or media simulation test. The selection of the nutrient medium should be made based on the quantity of the product produced, and the selectivity, clarity, concentration and suitability for sterilisation. The process simulation test should imitate, as closely as possible, the routine aseptic manufacturing process, and include all the critical subsequent manufacturing steps. Normally process simulation tests should be repeated twice a year per shift and process. The number of containers used for media fills should be sufficient to enable a valid evaluation. For small batches, the number of containers for media fills should at least equal the size of the product batch.
