High-Quality LB Agar for E. coli Culture Maintenance
IBI’s LB Agar is a trusted medium for maintaining and propagating E. coli in molecular and microbiology procedures. Designed to support optimal bacterial growth, it contains essential components like casein digest peptone and yeast extract, which provide nitrogen, sulfur, minerals, and vitamins critical for cell metabolism. Sodium chloride ensures a balanced supply of electrolytes, while agar acts as a reliable solidification agent, making it ideal for molecular genetic studies and routine microbial applications.
Easy-to-Prepare LB Agar for Consistent Results
Preparing IBI’s LB Agar is straightforward and efficient. Simply mix 40 g of the medium in 1 L of purified water, heat with stirring, and boil for one minute until fully dissolved. After distributing the medium, autoclave at 121.0⁰C for 15 minutes to sterilize. Store the finished product in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from moisture and light, to maintain its quality. Whether for genetic research or routine lab use, IBI’s LB Agar delivers consistent performance every time. Check out our other Agars for your lab needs.
