Product Description
Fluid Tetrathionate HiVeg® Medium is a specialized microbiology medium designed for the selective enrichment of Salmonella species. Unlike traditional tetrathionate broths, this formulation is free from iodine and brilliant green, making it ideal for sensitive applications where these components may interfere with downstream testing or cause false positives.
This medium is particularly useful in clinical laboratories, food testing facilities, and research institutions where accurate detection of Salmonella is critical. The HiVeg® formulation ensures a vegan-friendly composition, aligning with modern ethical and regulatory standards in microbiology.
Whether you’re a student conducting experiments, a researcher validating protocols, or an educator demonstrating microbiological techniques, Fluid Tetrathionate HiVeg® Medium provides a reliable and consistent platform for your work. Its powdered form allows for easy preparation and long-term storage, making it a practical choice for laboratories with varying workloads.

Key Applications
This medium is primarily used for:
- Clinical diagnostics for Salmonella detection
- Food safety testing in processing facilities
- Environmental monitoring for Salmonella contamination
- Research applications requiring iodine-free enrichment
Preparation and Usage
To prepare Fluid Tetrathionate HiVeg® Medium, dissolve 500g of the powder in 1 liter of distilled water. Sterilize by autoclaving at 121°C for 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature before use. For best results, follow standard microbiological protocols for Salmonella enrichment.
Always store the prepared medium at 2-8°C and use within the recommended shelf life. The powdered form should be kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its efficacy.
Why This Medium Stands Out
What makes Fluid Tetrathionate HiVeg® Medium a preferred choice among microbiologists?
First, its iodine-free composition eliminates potential interference with certain detection methods, ensuring more reliable results. Second, the absence of brilliant green reduces toxicity concerns, making it safer for both users and the environment. Finally, its vegan formulation meets the growing demand for animal-free laboratory reagents.
For laboratories looking to buy tetrathionate broth medium that balances performance with ethical considerations, this product offers an excellent solution. Its consistent quality and ease of use make it a staple in both routine testing and specialized research applications.
Safety and Handling
While Fluid Tetrathionate HiVeg® Medium is designed to be safer than traditional formulations, proper laboratory safety practices should always be followed. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling the powder and prepared medium. Dispose of used medium according to your institution’s biohazard waste protocols.

FAQs
What is the shelf life of Fluid Tetrathionate HiVeg® Medium?
The powdered medium has a shelf life of 24 months when stored properly in a cool, dry place. Once prepared, the liquid medium should be used within 30 days when stored at 2-8°C.
Can this medium be used for detecting other pathogens besides Salmonella?
While primarily designed for Salmonella enrichment, some laboratories use it for other gram-negative bacteria. However, for optimal results, we recommend using it specifically for its intended purpose of Salmonella detection.
Is this medium suitable for vegan laboratories?
Yes, Fluid Tetrathionate HiVeg® Medium is completely vegan, containing no animal-derived components. This makes it ideal for laboratories following ethical sourcing guidelines.
How does the absence of iodine affect Salmonella detection?
The iodine-free formulation prevents potential inhibition of certain Salmonella strains that might be sensitive to iodine, leading to more accurate and inclusive detection results.
Can I buy Fluid Tetrathionate HiVeg® Medium in smaller quantities?
Currently, this product is available in 500g packs. For bulk requirements or special packaging needs, please contact our customer support team at eqipped.
