Casein peptone lecithin polysorbate broth base, also known as TAT Broth, is a neutralizing broth that is mostly used for sample dilution in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other related fields. The medium is developed to facilitate the recovery of injured microorganisms by providing the best conditions possible for their development and recovery.
A rich amount of nutrients is provided by the addition of casein peptone, which aids in the healing of injured cells. To neutralize different antimicrobial substances like phenols and quaternary ammonium compounds, lecithin and polysorbate 20 work as neutralizing agents. Since thioglycolate can obstruct the inactivation of some preservatives, it is purposefully left out.
