Microbiology media facilitate the detection, isolation, and cultivation of microorganism colonies. Culture media additives and supplements enhance the growth capability of specific organisms. Prepared nutrient broths help establish the complex environment that even fastidious organisms require. Containing the nutritional elements that enable cells to multiply, the predetermined substance quantities add additional control to tests. Choose the gel or liquid microbiology media that is most compatible with working 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.
