Oxoid™ Thioglycollate Medium (Dehydrated) is a non-viscous, general-purpose medium designed for the cultivation of a wide variety of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms, including fastidious organisms. It is particularly suitable for sterility testing of turbid biological products and is widely used in clinical, pharmaceutical, and food microbiology laboratories.

Supplied in a 5kg dehydrated powder format, this medium yields approximately 169 liters of prepared medium, making it ideal for high-throughput microbiological laboratories and quality control environments. The formulation includes sodium thioglycollate as a reducing agent to maintain an anaerobic environment, supporting the growth of obligate anaerobes.

Key Features:

• Form: Dehydrated powder
• Weight: 5kg
• Application: Cultivation of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms; sterility testing of turbid biological products
• Composition: Peptones, sodium thioglycollate, glucose, sodium chloride, L-cystine, resazurin
• Function: Supports the growth of a wide range of microorganisms, including fastidious and anaerobic bacteria
• Preparation: Dissolve 29.6g in 1 liter of distilled water, heat if necessary to dissolve completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 121°C for 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature and store in the dark.
• Yield: Approximately 169 liters of prepared medium
• Standards: Complies with EP, USP, JP, and BP formulations; suitable for sterility testing and cultivation of anaerobic bacteria
