Invitrogen™ Select Agar™, powder

Description

• Agar is a mixture of polysaccharides extracted from red seaweed cell walls
• It has unique gelling properties that are utilized in many industrial and laboratory applications
• Solid culture medium is created by adding  agar to media broth (typical final concentration is 1–2%)
• Solid media cell culture allows the isolation of individual E
• coli colonies and is fundamental in cloning workflows
• Agar is used in diagnostic laboratories to detect pathogens from contaminated food or water
• Also, it can be used to prepare selective media for saccharomyces cerevisiae and other yeasts used in various molecular microbiology procedures (e.g., YPD Agar)
• In addition, agar has been used in tissue double embedding for histopathology, hydrogel creation, and tissue engineering applications
• Primary applications • Making solid media to grow cells (e.g., bacteria, fungi, yeast) • To isolate E
• coli clones with plasmid on a selective media • Tissue engineering, hydrogel production Look for more media that fit your needs We offer other ready-to-use media formulations, such as LB (Lennox) (Cat
