Brain-Heart Infusion Solids Culture Media

Brain-Heart Infusion Solids is dehydrated infusion of porcine brains and hearts for use in preparing microbiological culture media. Rosenow devised an excellent medium for culturing streptococci by supplementing Dextrose Broth with bovine brain tissue.1 Hayden, revising Rosenow's procedure by adding crushed marble to the medium, reported favorable growth of organisms from dental pathogens. Brain-Heart Infusion Solids was developed as an alternative to bovine based Brain Heart Infusion containing media, replacing calf brain and beef heart with porcine brains and hearts. Brain-Heart Infusion Solids was developed for pharmaceutical and vaccine production, and can replace traditional bovine based BHI media in most applications. The nutritionally rich formula of Brain-Heart Infusion Solids is used to grow a variety of microorganisms. The original Brain-Heart Infusion media are specified in standard methods for multiple applications.3-6

Brain-Heart Infusion Solids provides nitrogen, amino acids, and vitamins in microbiological culture media. Brain-Heart Infusion Solids is processed from large volumes of raw material, retaining all the nutritive and growth stimulating properties of fresh tissue.

Small volumes of Brain-Heart Infusion Solids culture media vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
