ALTERNATIVE THIOGLYCOLLATE MEDIUM (as per USP)(VEG.), (NIH THIOGLYCOLLATE MEDIUM) (Double wrapped)

Description

This medium is prepared by completely replacing animal peptones with vegetable peptones to avoid BSE/TSE risk. Alternative Thioglycollate Veg Medium is the modification of Alternative Thioglycollate Medium formulated as described in N.I.H memoradum and is generally used for cultivation of anaerobes and sterility testing of certain biological products used in industrial set ups. It is used for the sterility testing of certain biological products which are turbid or viscous and can’t be tested using Fluid Thioglycollate Medium. Both the media have similar composition, except agar and resazurin that are not included in Alternative Thioglycollate Medium. This deletion makes it suitable for sterility testing of viscous products.
