INTENDED USE
- BacterPlate™ Thioglycollate Broth is designed for the cultivation and isolation of obligate and facultative anaerobic and microaerophilic bacteria. It is also suitable for aseptic process simulations in pharmaceutical and clinical laboratories.
PRINCIPLES
- This medium contains peptone from casein and yeast extract, which provide essential nutrients for bacterial growth. D(+)-Glucose serves as an energy source. Sodium thioglycollate and L-cystine act as reducing agents, creating an anaerobic environment by lowering the oxidation-reduction potential. This environment supports the growth of anaerobes and prevents the accumulation of peroxides, which can be harmful to certain microorganisms. The sulfhydryl groups in these reducing agents can inactivate heavy metals, making the medium suitable for samples containing such compounds.
- Allow the medium tube to stabilize at room temperature.
- Using aseptic techniques, inoculate the medium with the sample material, ensuring the sample reaches the bottom of the bottle.
- To maintain anaerobic conditions, overlay the medium with a 1 cm layer of sterile liquid paraffin or agar solution if necessary.
- Incubate at 30 – 35°C for several days, depending on the growth requirements of the target organisms.
