Inositol Assay Medium is used for determining inositol concentration by the microbiological assay technique. A modification of the formula described by Atkin et al.,1 is used in the microbiological assay of inositol using Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCCTM 9080 (Saccharomyces uvarum) as the test organism.


Directions per Liter: Dissolve 12.2g in 100ml of ddH2O stirring with heat. Boil for 1 minute until completely solubilized. Dispense 5ml amounts into tubes. Add standard or test samples. Adjust tube volume to 10ml. Autoclave at 121°C for 5 minutes. See Difco Manuel for more directions.
