Overview

Product overview

Polymyxin B is offered as four selective supplements, each paired with a specific base. TJ026F (10,000 IU per vial) and its lyophilized counterpart TJ026RF (50,000 IU per vial) are used with 50% Egg Yolk Suspension (TJ019F) and MYP Base to isolate and enumerate Bacillus cereus from foods.

TJ028F (1.2 mg per vial) is used with Sodium Sulfadiazine (TJ029F) and SPS Base to isolate and enumerate Clostridium perfringens from food, water and all types of foodstuffs. TJ053F (2.25 mg per vial) is used with Nalidixic Acid (TJ054F) in Modified Tryptone Soy Broth (mTSB) Base.

The four codes have different doses, bases and shelf lives, so each variant's data is listed separately in the specifications.
