Clear Thioglycollate Medium

Thioglycoll. B. clear contains thioglycollate and L-Cystine that reduce the redox potential of the culture medium and create an anaerobic atmosphere. These components also inactivate mercury and other heavy metal compounds. The reduced agar content and the presence of a clear gelling agent to offer extra clarity. Resazurin indicates the reduction potential of the medium. An increased concentration of oxygen is indicated by a color change to pink.

Fluid Thioglycolate Medium Clear is designed for the isolation and cultivation of fastidious anaerobic and aerobic microorganisms. It is used for sterility control of pharmaceutical products.
