Description
Hugh-Leifson OF Glucose Medium, ISO, is a specialised microbiological culture medium supplied in a 500 g pack for oxidation–fermentation (OF) testing of glucose metabolism in bacteria. The Hugh-Leifson OF principle is widely used to distinguish oxidative from fermentative carbohydrate utilisation, supporting identification workflows in clinical, food, environmental, and research microbiology. This ISO-designated formulation provides a recognised medium identity for laboratories that align media choice with standardised methods and internal quality systems. The 500 g pack size is practical for routine media preparation—weighing, reconstitution, tube filling, and controlled incubation under aerobic and sealed conditions as required by the OF test. From manufacturer Dinkelberg and originating in Hungary, the article belongs to the laboratory culture-media category and integrates into standard media-kitchen practice. Clear naming with the ISO reference aids method documentation, SOP cross-reference, and inventory labelling. Hugh-Leifson OF Glucose Medium supports consistent setup of OF glucose tests where reliable medium identity and convenient pack volume matter for day-to-day diagnostic and research bacteriology.
This article is part of Carbohydrates & sugars, in Biochemicals & reagents.

Questions about Hugh-Leifson OF Glucose Medium, ISO, 500g
What is this article?
Hugh-Leifson OF Glucose Medium, ISO, 500g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Dinkelberg for laboratory use. It sits in Carbohydrates & sugars, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Life Science & Microbiology.
A carbohydrate reagent is a sugar or a derivative, specified by identity, anomer where it matters, and purity. Hydrate and anhydrous forms change the mass. A culture-grade sugar and an analytical standard of the same name are different bottles.
A biochemical is a molecule of life, sold as a reagent: an amino acid, a sugar, a nucleotide, a lipid, an enzyme, an antibiotic. The difference from a bulk chemical is that the use is a biological one, and the impurities that matter are the ones that change that use. An enzyme is specified by activity, not only by mass. An antibiotic is specified by potency. Papers are on PubMed. Structures are on PubChem. Strains and lines that consume these reagents are at ATCC.
