Storage conditions and Shelf life
Store the dehydrated medium at 10-30°C and use before the expiry date on the label.
Store the prepared plates of medium at 2-8°C.
Precautions
The identity of colonies presumed from their appearance to be Salmonella spp. must be confirmed by biochemical and serological testing. In common with other enteric media care must be taken to ensure the purity of colonies taken for further testing as organisms that are inhibited from developing into colonies remain viable and may accidentally be picked on sub-culture.
