Tryptic Soy Agar, sterile 125 mL

This 125 mL bottle of sterile liquid tryptic soy agar is ready to use and perfect for growing bacteria!

To use it, simply warm the tryptic soy agar solution, pour it into petri dishes, and inoculate it with the bacteria culture of your choice (or use a swab to spread bacteria from your mouth or a countertop). This bottle of tryptic soy agar contains enough to cover about ten 100mm dishes. Tryptic soy agar is a general-purpose media, but it works particularly well for fastidious bacteria (ones with complex nutrient requirements), such as Bacillus stearothermophilus, Branhamella catarrhalis, and Bacillus coagulans. If you're not sure what kind of bacteria you'll be growing, we recommend using nutrient agar.

Major Ingredients: Water, Agar, Casein Peptone, Soy Peptone
