Description

General description

FTM with Neutralizers also known as Fluid Thioglycollate Medium is a nutrient rich complex medium designed to serve as a sterility control for pharmaceutical products.
Thioglycollate and L-Cystine in the medium reduces the redox potential of the medium to create an anaerobic atmosphere. Also, it deactivates the presence of mercury and other heavy metals.
The presence of agar further reduces oxygen diffusion and resazurin indicates the reduced oxygen potential in the medium. An increased oxygen concentration will render a color change from yellow to pink in the medium.
Lecithin and Polysorbate 80, are effective against quaternary ammonium compounds, amphoteric surfactants, benzamidines, chlorhexidines and dequadin. Polysorbate 80 inactivates benzyl alcohol, carbanilides, dichlorbenzyl alcohols, benzoic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid and its esters, phenols, phenylethyl alcohols and PHB esters. Histidine is effective against formaldehyde and formaldehyde releasing agents.

Application

Fluid Thioglycollate Medium is used to isolate and cultivate fastidious anaerobic and aerobic microbes in test samples. FTM is suitable as a sterility control of pharmaceutical products.
Fluid Thioglycollate Medium is recommended for sterility testing of samples according to EU and US pharmacopeia.

Features and Benefits

• Our ready-to-use media provide the highest level of quality and testing confidence. They are formulated and tested to meet the pharmacopeia requirements.
• Sterility testing media and rinse solutions are manufactured in an ISO 9001, environmentally controlled production center. Each lot undergoes a stringent quality control (QC) procedure, including pH, sterility, and growth promotion tests.
• Our manufacturing approach ensures the highest level of clarity for our media and rinsing fluids, thus improving accuracy, and reducing the risk of incorrect interpretation and false results.
