Abstract
The present invention relates to a transparent sample container containing, preferably, a liquid bacterial growth media for detecting microbacteria and a process for detecting microbacteria using this sample container. The container is optically transparent, heat resistant, and stable during storage. The container and process provide a bacterial growth medium substantially free of contamination upon prolonged storage of preferably about one year at 40° C.
