Diluent for Microbial Limits Testing: Used as a sample diluent for bioburden/microbial enumeration of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and medical devices.

Membrane Filtration Rinse: Employed as a rinsing/transfer fluid during membrane filtration to recover microorganisms from products and filters.

Sterility and Preservative Efficacy Workflows: Serves as a rinse/holding fluid in sterility-related and antimicrobial effectiveness studies to facilitate organism recovery.

Environmental Monitoring: Used as a swab/rinse medium for surfaces and equipment to recover organisms such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Sample Preparation of Oily/Fatty Matrices: Tween-80 aids emulsification/dispersion of hydrophobic products to release and recover microorganisms.

General Rinse/Transfer Medium: Facilitates transfer of microorganisms from test articles to culture media without excessive stress.

Short-Term Holding/Transport: Meat Peptone supports temporary maintenance of viability prior to plating or enrichment.

Recovery in Sanitizer/Detergent Studies: Used to recover survivors after surface or product exposure in efficacy testing workflows.
