Portuguese term or phrase: porém utilizou-se o meio da marca MERCK
Eu acho que o uso da conjução "porém" nessa versão - em Português - está meio incoerente, mas talvez seja eu o equivocado. Outra palavra que me deixou confuso foi "Brila"

CONTEXTO:

Caldo E. coli (E.C)
Obs.: Mesmo procedimento utilizado para o caldo Brila, porém utilizou-se o meio da marca MERCK, que estimula 37 gramas para 1 litro de água destilada, no preparo do meio.

MERCK & BRIL brands


Explanation:
Merck manufacture laboratory chemicals and culture media : the text indicates that theirs has to be prepared using 37 g/l - other brands have a different concentration of chemicals in them.

'BRIL' are another manufacturer see http://www.opticsplanet.net/bd-tet-broth-w-bril-grm-10pk-292...

neutral  Colin Mansell: No mention is made of the BRIL brand, at least in the text that we have available. Brila seems to be the generic name.
