Merck, 1.46333, Clear Thioglycollate Medium

General description
Fluid Thioglycollate Medium Clear is a universal complex medium. Thioglycollate and L-Cystine in the medium reduce the redox potential of the culture medium to create an anaerobic atmosphere. These agents also inactivate mercury and other heavy metal compounds. Resazurin indicates the reduction potential of the medium. Change of color from yellow to pink indicates an increase in oxygen concentration. Fluid Thioglycollate Medium Clear contains a reduced agar content, supplemented by a clear gelling agent, to offer the same media properties as FTM, with extra clarity.
Application
Fluid Thioglycollate Medium Clear is used for the isolation and cultivation of fastidious anaerobic as well as for aerobic microorganisms. This medium is suitable for sterility control of pharmaceutical products.
