PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
LB medium is the most widely used medium for the growth of bacteria. MP Biomedicals offers LB media in a variety of formats for convenience and ease of use. It is a rich Medium for the growth of E. coli and certified for plasmid and other bacterial cultures in liquid medium. MP Biomedicals offers LB media in an encapsulated format for convenience and ease of use.
Application Notes
LB Medium is a nutritionally rich medium originally developed for growth and maintenance of E. coli strains. The ultimate in ease and convenience, LB Medium in a capsule form eliminates the waste, inaccuracies, and mess associated with weighing out bulk powder. The growth characteristics are the same as LB agar powder. LB Medium supports a luxurious growth of E. coli cells as tryptone and yeast extract supply essential growth factors that E. coli cells would otherwise have to synthesize. The medium also contains essential electrolytes for transport and osmotic balance, due to the NaCl component.
Usage Statement
Unless specified otherwise, MP Biomedical's products are for research or further manufacturing use only, not for direct human use. For more information, please contact our customer service department.
