Fluid Casein Digest Soya Lecithin Medium is recommended by USP for use in Microbial Limit Tests and by the Indian Pharmacopeia for sanitary examination of surfaces. This medium is also recommended by NASA for the microbiological sampling of environmental surfaces sanitized with quaternary ammonium compounds. The importance of a highly nutritional medium containing neutralizing agents for neutralizing quaternary ammonium compounds has been described by Weber and Black. It is further recommended for microbiological examination of food products, nutritional and dietary supplements. The medium contains tryptone, which provides necessary nutrients for the growth of the organisms. Soya lecithin neutralizes the quaternary ammonium compounds while polysorbate 20 neutralizes phenolic disinfectants, hexachlorophene and formalin.
