MIC measurement data from different sources are often different, and some of the differences are quite large. The reason is that there are many factors that affect the test results, such as test bacteria, inoculum amount, culture medium, culture temperature, culture time, pH value, etc., and these The factors are difficult to be constant.
Commonly used preservatives
There are many kinds of preservatives on the market, and the number of manufacturers is dazzling. According to the analysis of its active components, it can be divided into the following categories: isothiazolinones, formaldehyde releasing, benzopyrazoles, substituted aromatic hydrocarbons, organic bromines, organic amines, starbrite ptfe wax pipertriazines, etc.
2-benz isothiazolin-3-one (1.2-benz iso thi az olin-3-on c, BIT), its structural formula is:
N-H
Physical and chemical properties
BIT is light brown or yellow-brown liquid, soluble in water, low molecular weight alcohol and glycol, etc. The boiling point is 100°C, boiling without flashing, the relative density is 1.08 at 25°C, and the pH of its aqueous solution is 4.5-6.5. Stable in the presence of ammonia.
Minimum inhibitory concentration MIC
advantage
BIT does not release formaldehyde, does not contain halogen, is non-volatile, and has good stability: it is thermally stable, and only slightly loses weight at 180°C; it is stable in acid and alkali, and can be used in a wide range of pH values; it is chemically stable and compatible with amines. BIT and its preparations have no corrosive effect on metals.
