CRITERION™ Buffered Peptone Water (BPW) is a dehydrated culture medium formulated for the non-selective pre-enrichment of microorganisms, particularly for the recovery of injured Salmonella spp. and other bacteria from food, water, cannabis, and environmental samples.

This medium is widely used in ISO, BAM, and FDA testing protocols as an essential first step before selective enrichment and plating. Buffered Peptone Water neutralizes harmful effects of food preservatives, sanitizers, and drying stress that can inhibit bacterial growth, promoting rapid repair and recovery of sublethally injured cells.

The CRITERION™ formulation is supplied as a 500g dehydrated powder in a wide-mouth bottle for easy weighing, measuring, and dispensing in laboratory environments. It reconstitutes easily in distilled water and provides consistent performance batch to batch.

Features and Benefits:
• Recommended by BAM, ISO, and FDA for Salmonella recovery and pre-enrichment
• Promotes repair of injured microorganisms stressed by food processing
• Formulated for use in food, environmental, and pharmaceutical testing
• Dehydrated powder allows precise preparation of custom batch volumes
• Wide-mouth bottle simplifies handling and reduces contamination risk
• Produced under cGMP and ISO 13485 quality systems for reliability and reproducibility
