Description

Application

Sulfate API medium is used for detection and estimation of sulfate reducing bacteria as per American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice. These bacteria are able to grow and reduce sulfate to sulfide in this medium.

Preparation Note

Suspend 25.4 g in 1000 ml of purified water. Add 4 ml of sodium lactate (Cat. No. 71718; 60% in water). Heat with frequent agitation to dissolve the medium completely. Dispense, preferably in screw-capped tubes in 9 ml amounts. Sterilize at 121°C for 10 minutes. Close the caps immediately while the medium is still hot.

Footnote

We offer two media types: the superior granulated GranuCult^® and the cost-efficient powdered NutriSelect^® culture media, depending on your needs.
The designations basic, plus, or prime are added to indicate the quality control level, from basic quality control to standard QC plus to prime for full regulatory compliance.
