Preparation of complete Leishmania cultivation medium:

Dissolve 37 g/l LEXSY BHI powder in deionized water and autoclave for 15 min at 121 °C. Control temperature and time with a reference with the same volume, since overexposition leads to de-composition of ingredients and a dark brown color of the medium, which adversely affects growth of LEXSY strains. Proper autoclaved medium is of amber color. Store medium at room temperature before addition of Hemin and Pen-Strep (stable for 12 month). As an alternative, the medium can also be sterile filtered.

Add to 1 l LEXSY BHI:
5.0 ml Pen-Strep solution
2.0 ml Hemin stock solution to a final concentration of 5 μg/ml

Final pH = 7.6 ± 0.2

Store in the dark at 4 °C.

Completed medium is useable for up to 2 weeks. If the completed medium is to be used after this period, appropriate amounts of Hemin and Pen-Strep have to be re-added.
