THIOGLYCOLLATE MEDIUM ACC EP

Thioglycollate Medium For the isolation and cultivation of fastidious anaerobic and aerobic microorganisms, suitable for sterility testing, pkg of (10 ml in 17 ml tube with blue cap (20 or 100 tubes per box). Fluid Thioglycollate Medium is a universal complex medium. Thioglycollate and L-Cystine reduce the redox potential of the culture medium and create an anaerobic atmosphere, along with inactivating mercury and other heavy metal compounds. The presence of agar reduces a rapid diffusion of oxygen through the medium but may lead to slight turbidity in larger volumes (filled bottles). Resazurin indicates the reduction potential of the medium. An increased concentration of oxygen is indicated by a color change to pink.
