Our Heat-N-Pour Nutrient Agar is sterilized and ready to use. A definite go-to for those without an autoclave or pressure cooker on hand.
Our recipe is specifically designed to clean spore syringes and will clean even the dirtiest syringes.
Preparation is simple:
1) Loosen cap and place your Heat-N-Pour bottle upright in boiling water until the contents liquefy.
2) Pour liquid into sterilized agar plates and allow to cool.
3) Start isolating!
The following is what to expect when ordering:
Small Bottle = 125mls (Makes ~10 dishes*)
Medium Bottle = 250mls (Makes ~20 dishes*)
Large Bottle = 500mls (Makes ~40 dishes*)
*This amount is recommended for 60mm petri dishes. 90mm dishes will require about 25ml per plate, which is twice the volume of 60mm dishes.
Ingredients:
Agar-agar, Dry Malt Extract, Nutritional Yeast, Peptone
Heat-N-Pour Nutrient Agar is fully sterilized and should be used in front of a flow hood or inside a still-air box. Opening or pouring agar in non-sterile air will subject the contents to airborne contaminants such as mold, which may contaminate the agar media.
