CRM-LPN.BH analysis according to ISO 11731
A property value is given on the Certificate of analysis for 5 different analyses using the following methods:
Without filtration (direct plating)
0,1 ml RM is diluted in 4,9 ml PFZ
0,1 ml is plated on the media
With filtration, without treatment (WT)
Bring 50 ml sterile water on the filter
Mix 0,1 ml RM in this water and filtrate
Add another 50 ml of sterile water and filtrate to rinse the funnel
Place the filter faced-down in a cup with glass beads and 5 ml Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS)
Use the ultrasonic bath for 1 minute
Plate 0,1 ml of this sample on the media
With filtration, with acid treatment (diluting 1 ml in 9 ml acid) (ADT)
Bring 50 ml sterile water on the filter
Mix 1,0 ml RM in this water and filtrate
Add another 50 ml of sterile water and filtrate to rinse the funnel
Place the filter faced-down in a cup with glass beads and 5 ml PBS
Use the ultrasonic bath for 1 minute
Mix 1 ml of this sample with 9 ml acid solution
Incubate for 5 minutes
