Himedia Stuart Transport Medium w/o Sodium Glycerophosphate

Stuart Transport Medium w/o Sodium Glycerophosphate is used for routine transport of Gonococcus species and other fastidious organisms. This medium may be used for the transportation of many fastidious organisms including the anaerobes by maintaining organisms viability without significant multiplication. The medium provide an adequate degree of anaerobiosis which can be monitored by means of the redox indicator methylene blue. Prepared sterile medium will undergo a slight degree of oxidation at the upper periphery of the medium, however, if the tube or vial exhibits a distinct blue colour throughout the medium, it should be discarded.
