About DE

D/E Neutralizing Broth is a specialized microbiological medium designed for the recovery and enumeration of microorganisms that may be stressed or injured by exposure to disinfectants, sanitizers, or other antimicrobial agents. The medium contains neutralizers such as lecithin, polysorbate 80, and sodium thiosulfate, which inactivate residual disinfectants commonly used in environmental and industrial hygiene testing. This formulation allows for accurate microbial analysis in applications where disinfectant carryover could otherwise inhibit growth. The product is available in both liquid and powder forms, with liquid formats supplied in pre-filled tubes or bottles in volumes ranging from 5 mL to 100 mL, and powder formats offered in bulk sizes such as 500 g (reconstitutes to 500 mL) and 10 kg (reconstitutes to 10 L). Liquid media have a shelf life of 180 days, while powder media have a shelf life of 2 years when stored under recommended conditions. The liquid media are typically sterilized and ready-to-use, reducing preparation time and risk of contamination. Powder media require rehydration and sterilization prior to use, offering flexibility for laboratories that prefer to prepare media in-house. The product line includes multiple SKUs to accommodate different testing protocols and throughput requirements. 3G Electric supplies these microbiology media products globally, providing access to a range of sizes and formulations suitable for quality control, environmental monitoring, and research laboratories. The company supports procurement with datasheets and logistics coordination, ensuring that laboratories can maintain consistent supply for routine testing. D/E Neutralizing Broth is referenced in standard methods such as AOAC and USP for disinfectant efficacy testing and environmental surface sampling. The medium is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. For plant engineers, maintenance managers, and procurement specialists involved in industrial hygiene or pharmaceutical manufacturing, this product is a standard tool for validating cleaning and disinfection processes. The availability of both liquid and powder formats allows laboratories to choose the most cost-effective and convenient option based on their workflow. 3G Electric's catalog includes these microbiology media products as part of a broader offering of laboratory supplies, enabling consolidated sourcing for industrial and research facilities.
