IBI’s Tryptone Overview

IBI’s Tryptone is a high-quality pancreatic digest of casein, primarily used as a nitrogen source in culture media. It effectively supports the growth of both fastidious and non-fastidious microorganisms. The absence of detectable carbohydrates in Tryptone makes it ideal for differentiating bacteria based on their ability to ferment various carbohydrates.

Product Description and Usage

Tryptone can be used for indole production due to its high tryptophan concentration. It is also recommended as a casein peptone in media used for detecting bacteria in dairy products, drinking water, wastewater, and in antibiotic test media. For optimal storage, keep Tryptone at room temperature in a tightly sealed container, protected from moisture and light.
