The Thermo Scientific Veggietone range of animal-free peptones and culture media has been certified as free from genetically modified material (GMOs). These highly nutritious alternatives to conventional culture media products are ideal for use in fermentations and other pharmaceutical processes where genetically modified or animal-based products are to be avoided.

Manufactured without using any materials of animal origin whatsoever, Thermo Scientific Veggietones also reduce concerns over the transmission of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) and other TSEs.

The growing range of Veggietone peptones available from Thermo Scientific include, Veggietone Soya Peptone (manufactured from soya flour), Vegetable Peptone No. 1 and Vegetable Peptone Broth (manufactured from pea flour). All Veggietones are quality control tested to meet US, British, European and Japanese Pharmacopoeia performance standards, as well as those of the NCCLS.

Thermo Scientific Veggietones products are formulated to provide a good nutritional base, allowing luxuriant growth of even the most fastidious organisms, and to produce a clear, straw-coloured broth with good filtration rates on both cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate filters.
