Description
Maximum Recovery Diluent–AM111 is an isotonic, protective solution designed to enhance and maximise the recovery of micro-organisms from various specimen sources. The osmotically ideal conditions provided by physiological saline combined with the protective effect of a low level of peptones ensure that organisms will remain viable but will not replicate during the period (1-2 hours) that the sample is held in the diluent. Dilutions of the original sample are prepared in Maximum Recovery Diluent in order to quantify the number of viable organisms present.
