Oxoid™ DRBCA (ISO) (500g) is a selective differential medium designed for the detection and enumeration of Enterobacteriaceae and other coliforms in food, water, and environmental samples. This medium is formulated in accordance with ISO 21528 standards, offering a reliable method for isolating and differentiating Enterobacteriaceae through characteristic colony appearance and biochemical reactions.

Key Features:

• Form: Dehydrated powder
• Weight: 500g
• Application: Detection and enumeration of Enterobacteriaceae and coliforms from food, water, and environmental samples, in accordance with ISO 21528 standards
• Composition: Contains selective agents, peptones, and chromogenic substrates to enable differentiation of Enterobacteriaceae by colony colouration and biochemical activity
• Preparation: Suspend 31g in 1 litre of distilled water, mix thoroughly, and autoclave at 121°C for 15 minutes
• Yield: Approximately 16.1 litres of prepared medium
• Storage: Store the dehydrated medium at 10–30°C, protected from moisture and light
• Compliance: Complies with ISO 21528 for the detection of Enterobacteriaceae in microbiological testing protocols
