Test for salmonella

Hi
I jz knew I practice the wrong method for some time. From the usp it is stated ‘…use the quantity corresponding to 10 g/mL to inoculate suitable amount of TSB…’.I did transfer 10 mL from mixture of sample+peptone into TSB. But am I wrong to dissolve 10 g sample into 90 mL peptone? How many sample should I use?

Really need an answer.

Thanks in advance.

To get per 10g of sample, take 10g sample + 90ml peptone and then transfer full 100ml into TSB(if it is said to transfer in TSB) or you can directly use 100ml of sample preparation, for further incubation.

I have to do 1:10 dilution. If I have to transfer all into TSB…then I have to dilute 100 mL into 900 mL TSB which is too many volume.

However can you explain these? ‘you can directly use 100ml of sample preparation, for further incubation.’

your not wrong in sample preparation(10g sample + 90ml peptone) but your wrong in transfer of 10ml,it should be full 100ml transfer.
