The appearance of crystals in mannitol injection indicates that the solution is supersaturated and may have undergone some form of physical or chemical instability. This could potentially impact the efficacy, safety, or stability of the injection, and further investigation or disposal may be necessary.

Is mannitol soluble in ethanol?
Yes, mannitol is soluble in ethanol. It is typically considered highly soluble in alcohols like ethanol and isopropanol.
What would be likely consequences of omitting the NaCl in mannitol salt agar?
Omitting NaCl in mannitol salt agar would lead to the medium becoming nonselective, as NaCl is essential for inhibiting the growth of non-staphylococcal species. This could result in the overgrowth of unwanted organisms, making it difficult to isolate and identify Staphylococcus species accurately. Additionally, the absence of NaCl may affect the ability to differentiate between mannitol-fermenting and non-fermenting organisms based on their ability to change the pH indicator in the agar.
If an injectable contains 20 percent mannitol how many mls of the injection should be administered to provide 100gm of mannitol?
500 mls
What color indicate positive mannitol test?
A yellow color indicates a positive mannitol test. This means that the organism can ferment mannitol, producing acid which causes the phenol red indicator to turn yellow.
Why is mannitol salt considered to be a differential media?
Mannitol salt agar is considered differential because it contains mannitol and a pH indicator that changes color based on the fermentation of mannitol by certain types of bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus. This allows for the differentiation of pathogenic Staphylococcus species from non-pathogenic ones based on their ability to ferment mannitol.
Why is only mannitol used in ashby's mannitol broth?
MANNITOL IS CARBON SOURCE & AZOTOBACTER can fix nitrogen non- symbiotically
HOW do mannitol salt hook up to glycolysis?
Mannitol is not a substrate for glycolisis
Does Saccharomyces cerevisiae ferment mannitol?
Mannitol salt agar inoculated with Micrococcus luteusshowing no fermentation of mannitol (pink medium). The colonies show a yellow pigment which is characteristic of M. luteus.
What reaction does the enzyme involved in Mannitol-salt agar test mediate?
Mannitol salt agar is selective for gram positive bacteria, and differential for mannitol fermenters. Phenol red is the indicator containing the enzyme mannitol.
Can enterobacter cloacae grow on mannitol salt agar?
Yes, Enterobacter cloacae typically cannot grow on mannitol salt agar because it does not ferment mannitol. Mannitol salt agar is selective for salt-tolerant Staphylococci species that can ferment mannitol, producing acid and turning the agar yellow.
Does bacillus subtilis ferment acid from mannitol salt agar?
Bacillus subtilis typically does not ferment acid from mannitol salt agar as it lacks the enzymes needed for fermentation. Mannitol salt agar is mostly used to differentiate Staphylococcus species, which are capable of fermenting mannitol.
What is the effect of mannitol during dialysis?
Mannitol is given to raise blood pressure during hemodialysis
Glucose mannitol and sorbitol are all types of WHAT?
Glucose mannitol and sorbitol are both types of sugar.
Which ingredient in mannitol salt agar supplies carbon?
mannitol is a type of sugar, so it supplies the carbon in the MSA medium
