Levinthal's HiVeg Medium Base is recommended for cultivation of Haemophilus species. Addition of sterile rabbit or human blood makes media selective. Blood provides two factors, which supports growth of Haemophilus species: factor-X and factor-V. Pathogenic Haemophilus species are presumptively identified by determining in vitro growth requirements for X and V factors and by haemolytic reactions. This medium is prepared by replacing animal peptones with vegetable defined peptones to avoid BSE/TSE/GMO risk. Application: For Laboratory Chemicals, Analytical Purpose, Biochemical Analysis Appearance of powder: Light yellow colored, may have slightly greenish tinge, homogeneous, free flowing powder Gelling: Firm, comparable with 2.0% Agar gel Color and Clarity: Basal medium yields light yellow colored, clear to slightly opalescent gel. Heating after addition of blood forms chocolate brown colored gel in petri plates Reaction: Reaction of 4.5% w/v aqueous solution is pH 7.6 ± 0.2 at 25°C Cultural Response: Cultural characteristics observed after an incubation at 35 - 37°C 18 - 24 hours
