Was used in the late 1800s and early 1900s to peptonise milk - couldn't find any others for sale but saw some in some museum collections of pharmacies from the 19th century. Amazing items to add to your collection of old school advertisements and quack-ish cures!

Peptonized Milk is an enzymic digest of high grade skimmed milk powder. It has high tryptophan content and is therefore used in media for testing the indole reaction. It serves as a source of nitrogen and also has high level of carbohydrate.

INCLUDES:
  • 11 original dozen peptonising tubes (2 empty)
  • Original box (see condition statement for wear)
