Thermo Scientific™ Thioglycollate Medium USP

Thioglycollate Medium USP is suitable for the cultivation of both aerobic and anaerobic organisms. No paraffin or special seal is necessary nor is an anaerobic jar required for the cultivation of anaerobes. It is well buffered, so that acid or alkaline inocula produce negligible alteration in the reaction of the medium. The sodium thioglycollate content of the medium will neutralize the bacteriostatic effect of mercurial compounds used as preservatives in solutions for injection, etc. If the solution undergoing test contains a bacteriostatic substance, it is necessary, in order to avoid a false negative result, to establish the bacteriostatic activity of the product by the method described in the US Pharmacopoeia¹. Thioglycollate Medium USP is also recommended for the cultivation of Clostridium species.
