SSM Agar for Bacterial Culture – High-Quality Lab Medium for Microbial Growth
SSM Agar is a specialized bacterial culture medium designed for the isolation, cultivation, and revival of bacterial strains in laboratory settings. This ready-to-use formulation supports reliable microbial growth and is ideal for bacterial culture applications, including vaccine development, pathogen detection, and microbial research.
Key Features:
Scientifically Formulated: Contains 6g/L Na₂HPO₄, 3g/L KH₂PO₄, 0.2g/L MgSO₄·7H₂O, 5g/L glucose, 20g/L casein hydrolysate, and 15g/L noble agar to promote optimal bacterial growth.
pH Stability: Maintains a stable pH for consistent performance in critical experiments (pH adjusted during preparation).
Easy Preparation: Dissolve 49.2g of the powder in 1L distilled or deionized water, boil for 1 minute, sterilize at 121°C for 15 minutes, and mix thoroughly to prevent agar settling.
Long Shelf Life: 3-year stability under proper storage conditions (cool, dry, and protected from light).
Applications:
Bacterial Cultivation: Supports the growth of diverse bacterial species in research and quality control.
Microbial Revival: Ideal for reviving dormant bacterial cultures with its nutrient-rich composition.
Pathogen Detection: Facilitates accurate identification and enumeration of bacteria in clinical and industrial microbiology.
