  • Reason
    A technical investigation has confirmed that cm0301b/k/r oxoid c.L.E.D. medium lot 1599626 is out of specification for colour. the medium once prepared is pale green in colour instead of the expected blue/green. bacterial growth recovery rates appear unaffected however it is possible that the colour of target colonies may be impacted e.G. escherichia coli colonies may appear a paler yellow than expected. continued use of this lot therefore could result in false negative reporting or incorrect identification.
