HiVeg Medium used for the sterility testing of certain biological products which are turbid or viscous and cant be tested using Fluid Thioglycollate Medium (M009). Both the media have similar composition, except agar and resazurin that are not included in Alternative Thioglycollate Medium. This deletion makes it suitable for sterility testing of viscous products.
Application: For Sterility Testing of Turbid or Viscous Biological Products
