General description

GranuCult® plus LB agar (MILLER) formulation supports the growth of E. coli. Casein peptone and yeast extracts supply essential growth factors, such as nitrogen, carbon, sulfur, minerals, and vitamins. Sodium chloride is a source of essential electrolytes and maintains osmotic equilibrium. Agar is a solidifying agent.

Application

GranuCult® plus LB agar (MILLER) is suitable for the cultivation of E. coli in fermentation and molecular genetic studies.

Features and Benefits

  • GranuCult® offers superior granulated culture media
  • Safe and sustainable due to reduced risks associated with fine dust and toxic substance inhalation, resulting in a safer work environment
  • Excellent wettability, solubility, and free-flowing properties
  • Convenient, with minimal component separation and clumping, even under warm or humid conditions
  • High batch-to-batch reproducibility
  • Prolonged shelf life of up to five years
  • High number of test strains exceeding all regulatory demands
  • Granulation technology allows many supplements to be included, with no need to add these separately
