Soybean Casein Digest Medium is recommended as a general-purpose medium used for cultivation of a wide variety of microorganisms and for sterility testing of moulds and lower bacteria in accordance with the harmonized method of USP/EP/BP/JP/IP. It is used for the sensitivity testing of antimicrobial agents by the tube dilution method. It is also employed in diagnostic research in microbiology. This medium is used as a diluent and suspending medium for preparation of samples or test strains. It is also employed in sample preparation for testing of products, wherein incubation is carried out, only to serve sufficient resuscitation of the cell, while avoiding multiplication of the organism. The combination of tryptone and soya peptone makes this medium nutritious by providing nitrogenous, carbonaceous compounds, amino acids and long chain peptides for the growth of microorganisms. Natural sugars in soybean promote growth of fastidious organism. Glucose monohydrate is the fermentable source of carbon and dipotassium hydrogen phosphate serves as the buffer in the medium. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance of the medium.
