FLUID THIOGLYCOLLATE MEDIUM (as per IP) (VEG.)

Fluid Thioglycollate Medium (Veg) are specially developed from Veg hydrolysate and Veg extract to avoid BSE/ TSE risks associated with animal origin peptone. These media are the modifications of medium formulated by Brewer (by adding a reducing agent and small amount of agar) for rapid cultivation of aerobes as well as anaerobes and recommended by AOAC for sterility testing of antibiotics, biologicals and foods and for determining the phenol coefficient and sporicidal effect of disinfectants. However, it is intended for the examination of clear liquid or water-soluble materials. This medium is also used in the detection of viable bacteria in vaccines.
