Neutralizing Buffer is recommended for detection of microorganisms found on dairy and food equipment disinfected with chlorine or quaternary ammonium compounds.

• Inactivates bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects of chlorine and ammonium
• Light amber appearance when prepared
• Recommended for digestion and decontamination of mycobacterial specimens

Monopotassium phosphate provides the buffering capability. Sodium thiosulfate inactivates the effect of chlorine compounds. The aryl sulfonate complex neutralizes the effects of quaternary ammonium compounds.
