General description

Sea salts are unrefined salt, which is harvested from ocean and saltwater deposit. It is used to maintain the body′s salt balance.

Application

Sea salts has been used:
  • for the preparation of artificial seawater to culture microalgae
  • to assess nitrogen fixation rates[1]
  • as a supplement in Hugh and Leifson′s oxidation fermentation (OF) basal medium

Usually used at approx. 40 g/L for culturing marine bacteria.

Preparation Note

Usually used at ~ 40 g/L for culturing marine bacteria.
After dissolving, adjust pH to 8.2 using 0.1 N solution of sodium hydroxide or hydrochloric acid.

Other Notes

An artificial salt mixture closely resembling the composition of the dissolved salts of ocean water.
We offer two media types: the superior granulated GranuCult® and the cost-efficient powdered NutriSelect® culture media, depending on your needs.
The designations basic, plus, or prime are added to indicate the quality control level, from basic quality control to standard QC plus to prime for full regulatory compliance.

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  
  1. Hi, may I know what is the media composition for this media? And May I know what is the carbon source for this?

    1 answer
    1. The media composition for S9883, which is used to make synthetic seawater for membrane separations, is recommended at a concentration of 40 g/L in H2O. The trace metals present in this product can be found in the lot-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA). Synthetic seawater media do not contain organic carbon sources.

      Helpful?

  2. Can the sea salts (S9883) be used to prepare f/2 medium?

    1 answer
    1. Helpful?

  3. I am using this to make synthetic seawater for membrane separations. I am not sure what amount of salt do I put into how much pure water to have an exact concentration of seawater. The specs mention <0.5ppm of trace metals, does this include Lithium?

    1 answer
    1. The recommended usage concentration for marine culture is 40 g/L in H2O. The trace metals in this product will be found on the lot specific Certificate of Analysis. Please view the link below:
      https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/certificates/COFA/S9/S9883/S9883-BULK________SLBX8504__.pdf

      Lithiium is not an element that is regularly screened. Historically, the reported lithium concentration has been approximately 0.18 MG/L.
