Product Description
When precision matters in microbiological testing, the right buffer solution can make all the difference. This buffered sodium chloride peptone solution is a carefully formulated medium designed to maintain sample integrity during dilution, transport, or storage. With a stable pH of 7.0 and the addition of 0.05% polysorbate 80, it ensures optimal conditions for microbial viability without compromising sensitivity.
Whether you’re a student preparing samples for lab practicals or a researcher working on diagnostic assays, this solution provides consistency you can rely on. The inclusion of peptone offers essential nutrients, while sodium chloride maintains osmotic balance—critical for accurate results. The polysorbate 80 acts as a mild surfactant, preventing cell clumping and ensuring even distribution.
Each 10 ml vial is sterile and ready to use, eliminating the need for autoclaving or additional preparation. The 50-vial pack is ideal for high-throughput labs or educational institutions where multiple tests are conducted simultaneously. For those looking to buy buffered peptone solution online, this Himedia product is a trusted choice among Indian laboratories.

FAQs
What is the shelf life of this buffered peptone solution?
The unopened vials have a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored properly. Always check the expiration date on the packaging before use.
Can this solution be autoclaved for sterilization?
No, this product is pre-sterilized and ready to use. Autoclaving may degrade the polysorbate 80 and alter the pH, affecting performance.
Is this solution suitable for fungal sample transport?
While primarily designed for bacterial applications, it can be used for fungal samples in short-term transport. For long-term fungal preservation, specialized media are recommended.
How does polysorbate 80 benefit this solution?
Polysorbate 80 acts as a non-ionic surfactant that prevents microbial clumping, ensuring even distribution during plating or analysis. It’s particularly useful when working with fastidious organisms.
Can I use this for molecular biology applications?
This solution is optimized for microbiological use. For molecular applications like DNA/RNA extraction, consider nuclease-free buffers specifically designed for those purposes.
