Description

General description

Thioglycollate Broth with Tween^®80 is a complex medium designed for the cultivation and isolation of fastidious aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms present in sterility test samples of pharmaceutical industry.
The anaerobic atmosphere is created through reducing the redox potential of the medium by Thioglycollate and L-Cystine. Additionally, these compounds inactivate mercury and other heavy metal elements present in the environment.
Tween^®80 is effective against quaternary ammonium compounds, amphoteric surfactants, benzamidines, chlorhexidines, and dequadin. Tween^®80 inactivates benzyl alcohol, carbanilides, di-chlorobenzyl alcohols, benzoic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid and its esters, phenols, phenylethyl alcohols, and Solbrol (PHB esters).

Application

Thioglycollate Broth with Tween^®80 is used as a sterility testing medium for sterile pharmaceutical samples. FTM clear is mainly used to cultivate and isolate anaerobic and microaerophilic microbes.
