Nutrient Agar 100g Seaweed Solution Labs Natural Protein Media

Description

Product Overview

Seaweed Solution Laboratories presents Nutrient Agar 100g, a meticulously formulated agar medium designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern life science research. This product combines a balanced blend of peptones, beef extract, and essential salts, creating an environment that promotes robust microbial growth while maintaining the integrity of natural protein samples. The agar is prepared using high‑purity ingredients sourced from reputable suppliers, ensuring minimal contamination and reproducible results across multiple experiments. Each 100‑gram package is sealed in a moisture‑resistant pouch, preserving sterility until the moment of use. The compact dimensions of the product—approximately 3.5 × 3.5 × 2.6 inches—make it easy to store in laboratory freezers or incubators without taking up excessive space. With a proven track record reflected in a 4.6‑star rating from over one hundred verified users, this nutrient agar has become a trusted component for laboratories focusing on protein isolation, enzyme assays, and microbial culture work. Its versatility extends to a wide range of applications, from routine quality‑control checks to advanced research projects that require consistent and reliable growth conditions.

Usage

Designed for both academic and industrial settings, Nutrient Agar 100g is ideal for cultivating a broad spectrum of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and yeast, that are commonly encountered in protein research. Researchers typically dissolve the agar powder in distilled water, autoclave the solution at 121 °C for 15 minutes, and then pour it into sterile Petri dishes under aseptic conditions. Once solidified, the medium provides a clear, nutrient‑rich surface that supports the formation of distinct colonies, facilitating easy observation and enumeration. This agar is particularly valuable in protocols that involve the extraction of natural proteins from microbial cultures, as its composition minimizes interference with downstream analytical techniques such as SDS‑PAGE and mass spectrometry. In addition, the medium can be supplemented with specific antibiotics or selective agents to tailor growth conditions for target organisms, making it a flexible tool for microbiology, biochemistry, and environmental testing laboratories. Its reliable performance under a range of incubation temperatures—from 25 °C for mesophilic organisms to 37 °C for human‑associated pathogens—ensures that researchers can achieve optimal growth rates without compromising sample quality.

FAQ

What types of microorganisms can be cultured on this Nutrient Agar?

This agar supports the growth of a broad spectrum of microorganisms, including common laboratory bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis, as well as fungi like Aspergillus spp. and yeast strains such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Its balanced nutrient composition makes it suitable for both non‑selective and selective culture applications.

Can I add antibiotics or other supplements to the agar?

Yes, the medium can be supplemented with antibiotics, selective agents, or specific nutrients to tailor the growth environment for particular organisms or experimental needs. It is recommended to add supplements after autoclaving the base agar and cooling it to approximately 50 °C to prevent degradation of heat‑sensitive compounds.

How long can the agar be stored before use?

When kept in its original sealed pouch at 2‑8 °C, the agar retains its sterility and performance for up to 12 months. For longer storage, the product can be frozen at –20 °C, which further extends its shelf life without compromising quality.

Is this product suitable for educational laboratory settings?

Absolutely. The clear instructions, reliable performance, and safe handling characteristics make Nutrient Agar 100g an excellent choice for teaching labs, student projects, and introductory microbiology courses where consistent results are essential for learning outcomes.
