LB Lennox Agar capsules is a nutritionally rich medium originally developed for growth and maintenance of E. coli strains.
- Same high quality formulation and growth characteristics as LB Lennox agar powder
- Capsule form eliminates the need for weighing and handling
- The ultimate in ease and convenience
LB Lennox Agar 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.
Reagents are tested and chosen for their ability to promote optimum growth of E. coli when combined in LB Agar, Lennox formulations. Chosen reagents are combined in the proper proportions according to the formulation and thoroughly blended for a uniform distribution. A sample of the blended formulation is used to prepare agar medium. The combinations are mixed to dissolve components and then autoclaved at 121 °C for 15 minutes.
