About this item
OxyPRAS™ BHI Broth is a nutritious broth made from infusions of brain, heart tissue, and peptones that supply protein and other nutrients necessary to support the growth of microorganisms
OxyPRAS™ BHI Broth is supplied ready for use, and no further preparation is necessary. However, for anaerobe samples the addition of Oxyrase® for Broth or AnaSelect® for Broth is needed to establish and maintain an anaerobic environment.
The Broth is supplemented with Vitamin K1 and Hemin which provide growth factors required by certain obligate anaerobes, and supports growth of fastidious anaerobes. OxyPRAS™ BHI Broth is reduced with cysteine and anaerobically sterilized using the Oxyrase® Enzyme System. Anaerobic sterilization of a reduced medium prevents the formation of undesirable oxidation procducts that interfere with the growth of anaerobes. OxyPRAS™ BHI Broth is cell-free and will not interfere with gram stain interpretation of cultures grown in it. Each 5mL tube is sealed with a screw cap lid to ensure its sterility and ease of use.
