The Growth Promotion Test Suspensions are ready-to-use microbial suspensions, they require no reconstitution or dilution prior to use. An improved single piece screw cap and septum allow for access using a syringe or pipette without leakage during shipment or storage. All suspensions comply with the requirement for a population of <100 CFUs and are guaranteed to be within 5 passages of the stock culture.

Growth Promotion Test Suspensions provide a quality control challenge to each batch or lot of medium, ensuring its growth promotion qualities, whether it is prepared from basic ingredients or purchased commercially prepared. Simply inoculate each batch or lot of medium and incubate under the appropriate growth conditions.
