IBI’s Tryptone Overview
IBI’s Tryptone is a high-quality pancreatic digest of casein, primarily used as a nitrogen source in culture media. It effectively supports the growth of both fastidious and non-fastidious microorganisms. The absence of detectable carbohydrates in Tryptone makes it ideal for differentiating bacteria based on their ability to ferment various carbohydrates.
Product Description and Usage
Tryptone can be used for indole production due to its high tryptophan concentration. It is also recommended as a casein peptone in media used for detecting bacteria in dairy products, drinking water, wastewater, and in antibiotic test media. For optimal storage, keep Tryptone at room temperature in a tightly sealed container, protected from moisture and light.

Recommended Use:
Tryptone is a pancreatic digest of casein and used as a nitrogen source in culture media. It is capable of supporting growth of fastidious and nonfastidious microorganisms. Non-detectable concentration of carbonhydrates allows its use in differentiating bacteria on the basis of their ability to ferment various carbohydrates.
It can be used for indole production because of its high tryptophane concentration. It is also recommended by IBI as a casein peptone in media used for detecting bacteria in dairy products, drinking and waste water, and in antibiotic test media.
Storage:
Store at room temperature. Keep tightly sealed. Protect from moisture and light.
Warning:
Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Wash thoroughly with water after handling. See Material Safety Data
