Dehydrated Microbiology Media
Alkali Scientific Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) Deep Fill 15mL Tube, 10/Pk
Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) is a widely used general purpose medium for the cultivation, isolation, and enumeration of yeasts and molds. It is commonly used in clinical, food, and cosmetic microbiology laboratories for fungal testing and environmental monitoring. This product features a 15 mL deep fill tube format that provides significantly more medium than standard slants. The larger volume allows the agar to be melted and poured into petri dishes when fresh plates are required, or solidified as a deep or slant for long term fungal culture storage. The formulation includes potato infusion as a nutrient base that stimulates spore formation and pigment development, while dextrose supplies a readily available carbohydrate source that supports robust fungal growth.

Alkali Scientific Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) 90mL Bottle, 1/Pk
Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) is a general purpose liquid culture medium widely used for the cultivation of a broad range of microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi. This 90mL sterile bottle format is specifically designed for dilution preparation and sample processing in microbiological workflows. The nutrient rich formulation contains enzymatic digests of casein and soybean meal, providing essential amino acids, vitamins, and growth factors that support rapid microbial growth. It is commonly used for preparing sample dilutions, pre enrichment of microorganisms, and routine culture work. The ready to use sterile format reduces preparation time and contamination risk, making it suitable for laboratory testing, quality control, and environmental monitoring applications.

Alkali Scientific Phenylehanol Agar (PEA), 15x100mm, 10/pk
Phenylethyl Alcohol (PEA) Agar, 15×100mm plates supplied in packs of 10, is a selective culture medium formulated for the isolation of Gram positive bacteria from mixed clinical or environmental specimens. The presence of phenylethyl alcohol inhibits the growth of Gram negative organisms by interfering with DNA synthesis, allowing clearer recovery of Gram positive cocci such as Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species. This selective property makes PEA agar particularly useful when samples contain mixed microbial populations where Gram negative bacteria might otherwise overgrow the culture. The medium is commonly used in clinical microbiology, research laboratories, and quality control environments. Each plate is pre poured with sterile agar to a consistent depth to ensure reliable growth conditions and reproducible laboratory results.
Alkali Scientific MacConkey Agar, 2 Kg
MacConkey Agar is a selective and differential culture medium used to isolate and identify Gram-negative enteric bacteria. The formulation contains bile salts and crystal violet to suppress the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, making it ideal for isolating enteric pathogens from fecal or environmental samples. The medium includes lactose and a pH indicator to differentiate between lactose fermenters and non-fermenters. Lactose fermenters produce acid, turning the colonies pink or red, while non-fermenters remain colorless or pale. The 2kg size is perfect for high-volume testing in clinical, environmental, and food safety laboratories.
Alkali Scientific Terrific Broth, Modified, Granulated, 1 Kg
Terrific Broth, Modified, is a high-yield microbial growth medium designed for the robust cultivation of fastidious bacteria. This 1 Kg pack of granulated form broth is optimized for rapid bacterial growth, providing all necessary nutrients, including amino acids, peptides, and vitamins. Modified to enhance cell yield and productivity, this broth is particularly beneficial in large-scale culture production or high-density bacterial cultures. Terrific Broth is used in various molecular biology applications, including cloning, protein expression, and metabolic studies. It is also employed in fermentation processes and research involving microbial growth kinetics and behaviors.
ATHENA ES LB (Lennox)
Athena offers three variations of the basic nutrient-rich LB Broth media (Miller, Lennox, and Luria) as well as their APF Certified™ equivalents made using Athena’s proprietary blended plant protein hydrolysate: Atholate™. The formulations each provide an abundance of peptides and peptones, vitamins and trace elements, and differ only in sodium chloride content and whether they were made with casein hydrolysate or Atholate™. The differences allow the researcher to select which formula will provide the ideal osmotic conditions for their particular bacterial strain and desired culture conditions. Each LB Broth and APF LB Broth can be custom ordered in bulk.
