Nutrient Agar
Nutrient Agar, a foundational medium in microbiology, was first formulated by the American Public Health Association in 1917. Recognizing the need for a standardized medium for examining various substances, including water, wastewater, food, and dairy products, the APHA established this formulation. Nutrient Agar's significance endures, as it remains a specified medium in contemporary microbiological examination protocols for a wide range of materials. Furthermore, it serves as a valuable resource for the cultivation and maintenance of non-fastidious microorganisms.
Trypticase™ Soy Agar
Trypticase™ Soy Agar is a general-purpose medium commonly used in microbiology laboratories to isolate and cultivate a wide range of microorganisms, including fastidious and non-fastidious bacteria, yeasts, and molds. It provides a rich nutrient supporting the growth of various microorganisms. Trypticase™ Soy Agar is also a versatile medium that can be used for various purposes, including maintenance of stock cultures, plate counting, and as a base for other specialized media by incorporating blood or other supplements. The formulation of the Trypticase™ Soy Agar medium contains a combination of casein and soy peptones supplying organic nitrogen, particularly amino acids, and longer chained peptides. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic equilibrium, and the natural sugars from soy peptone are the energy sources.
