Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) Broth Dehydrated Culture Media

BHI Broth's rich formula contains a comprehensive source of nutrients from Brain Heart Infusion Solids and Tryptose. A low concentration of glucose stimulates early growth, while a light buffering system helps to prevent the early death of some species due to acid production. This balanced formulation makes it highly suitable for use as a blood culture medium or as an enrichment broth for a broad spectrum of microorganisms. With BHI Broth, you can confidently cultivate fastidious organisms and achieve consistent, reproducible results in your lab.
