Documentation

ATCC determines the biosafety level of a material based on our risk assessment as guided by the current edition of Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is your responsibility to understand the hazards associated with the material per your organization’s policies and procedures as well as any other applicable regulations as enforced by your local or national agencies.

ATCC highly recommends that appropriate personal protective equipment is always used when handling vials. For cultures that require storage in liquid nitrogen, it is important to note that some vials may leak when submersed in liquid nitrogen and will slowly fill with liquid nitrogen. Upon thawing, the conversion of the liquid nitrogen back to its gas phase may result in the vial exploding or blowing off its cap with dangerous force creating flying debris. Unless necessary, ATCC recommends that these cultures be stored in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen rather than submersed in liquid nitrogen.

Handling procedure
Frozen mini-cryovials packed in dry ice should either be thawed immediately for use or stored at or below
-70°C until the expiration date printed on the label. Storage at -20°C may affect the growth and viability of the culture.
  1. Thaw the bacterial strain upright using gentle agitation in a 25°C to 30°C water bath. Thawing will be rapid; approximately 2-3 minutes or until all ice crystals have melted.
  2. Immediately after thawing, wipe down the mini-cryovial with 70% ethanol and aseptically transfer the entire contents to a 5-6 mL tube of #814 broth or directly inoculate a #814 plate and/or #814 agar slant.
  3. Discard the empty vial. Do not refreeze any unused portion as it will result in a loss of viability.
  4. Incubate the tubes and plate at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 24 to 48 hours. Assure that screw caps are loose during incubation period.
Handling notes
The increased CO2 is required for growth.
Brain Heart Infusion (BD 237500) can be used to rehydrate vial contents if #814 broth is not available, but it will not support growth.
