Oxoid™ Buffered Peptone Water (BPW) is a high-quality pre-enrichment medium used in microbiology laboratories to help recover and grow bacteria that may have been stressed or damaged during processing, storage, or environmental exposure. The buffered formulation helps protect microorganisms from changes in pH, allowing them to recover before further testing is carried out.

Widely used in food, beverage, environmental, pharmaceutical and water testing laboratories, BPW is particularly suitable for the pre-enrichment of Salmonella and other foodborne organisms in accordance with recognised ISO testing methods. The 10kg pack is ideal for laboratories with high sample throughput and routine microbiological testing requirements.

Applications and Uses

• Pre-enrichment of Salmonella from food and feed samples.
• Recovery of stressed or injured microorganisms prior to selective culture.
• Food microbiology testing programmes.
• Dairy, meat, poultry and beverage quality control testing.
• Environmental monitoring and hygiene testing.
• Pharmaceutical and cosmetic microbiology testing.
• Water and wastewater microbiological analysis.
• Routine laboratory sample preparation and enrichment procedures.
