Two years from date of manufacture kept refrigerated between +4°C to +8°C. Opened bottles should be stored refrigerated.
Quality assurance
The medium is manufactured under sterile conditions and sterility is ensured through testing each batch. The sterility test verifies the absence of viable micro-organisms (bacteria, yeast and fungi).
