Features:

• A pancreatic digest of casein
• Used as a nitrogen source in culture media

IBI's Tryptone (Tryptose) is a pancreatic digest of casein and is used as a nitrogen source in culture media. It is capable of supporting the growth of fastidious and non-fastidious microorganisms. The non-detectable concentration of carbohydrates allows its use in differentiating bacteria on the basis of their ability to ferment various carbohydrates. It can be used for indole production because of its high tryptophan concentration. It is also recommended as a casein peptone in media used for detecting bacteria in dairy products, drinking and/or wastewater, and in antibiotic test media. Store at room temperature, tightly sealed, and protect from moisture and light.
