Deoxycholate Agar is a selective and differential culture medium commonly used in microbiological laboratories for the isolation and differentiation of enteric Gram-negative bacteria, particularly members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, with specific emphasis on the detection of Salmonella and Shigella species.

Fluid Thioglycollate Medium (FTM) is a highly versatile, enriched, and reducing medium designed for the cultivation, propagation, and detection of both aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms. Widely used in clinical, pharmaceutical, and industrial laboratories, FTM is particularly essential for sterility testing, microbial quality control, and studies involving fastidious or oxygen-sensitive organisms.

Fluid Thioglycollate Medium (FTM) is a specialized liquid culture medium specifically developed to recover a broad spectrum of microorganisms in environments with variable oxygen availability. Unlike standard nutrient broths, which are designed primarily for aerobic organisms, FTM incorporates reducing agents such as sodium thioglycollate and L-cystine.

Sterility assurance is a critical element of pharmaceutical product quality and patient safety, particularly for parenteral drugs, ophthalmic preparations, biologics, and implantable dosage forms that bypass the body’s natural defense mechanisms. Products intended to be sterile are manufactured using aseptic processing or terminal sterilization, supported by validated manufacturing processes, controlled environments, and comprehensive contamination control strategies.

Driven by the inherent human desire to understand our world, biological sciences emerged as a quest to unravel its workings.

Global Bio India 2023, held from December 4th to 6th at Bharat Mandapam & Hall no. 14, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, marked a significant convergence of minds in the realm of Biotechnology.

HiMedia's constant commitment to ensure high standards of safety, quality and performance of in-vitro diagnostic products for use in the health care sector contributes directly and indirectly to the well being of patients across the country and world-wide.

Microbial culture banks are the collection centers for various microorganisms. Their role is to collect, culture, maintain, and distribute microorganisms to society. Microbial culture banks are like money banks, but instead of money they store and deal with microorganisms.
