General description

NZ Amine is a growth medium used for the cultivation of lambda bacteriophage. This nutrient-rich broth contains peptides, amino acids, and water-soluble vitamins in a low-salt formulation.

Application

Suitable for non-selective cultivation of lambda bacteriophage.

Features and Benefits

NZ Amine powder provides:
  • Standard formulation
  • Convenient package sizes
  • Easy scale-up using larger package sizes
  • A budget-friendly alternative to liquid

Preparation Note

1. Suspend 15.94 g in 1 L of distilled water.
