Môi trường nuôi cấy vi sinh Maximum Recovery Diluent (MRD)
Formulated to ISO 6887-1, Maximum Recovery Diluent (MRD) is a diluent designed to maintain organisms by protecting the cells from unnecessary physiological shock that may occur using other aqueous solutions. MRD is used extensively in food and environmental testing.
The low level of peptone provides a protective effect but does not allow for multiplication during the short residence time in the diluent, 45 minutes. The sodium chloride prevents osmotic shock as the sample is initially diluted.
This formulation combines the osmotic pressure of the physiological saline solution with the protective action of the peptone to obtain good recovery of stressed microorganisms.
The sodium chloride ensures isotonic conditions and the low concentration of peptone does not allow cellular growth in the short period (2-4 hours) of time required for the preparation of the dilution bank of the sample
