General description

Minerals and vitamins are broadly used to supplement growth media in order to support growth of a variety of different bacteria. The growth media mimics the natural environment of the bacteria thus providing an optimal setting for high throughput cultures. Trace elements ready-made solution, MBD0056, is comprised of vital minerals to support critical bacterial development. The solution is based on Wolin and Wolfe’s recipe, which is especially suitable for culturing anaerobic bacteria of the human microbiome ( )

Features and Benefits

  • 0.2uM filtered for removal of contaminants
  • Saves time in preparation of media
  • Improved accuracy: composition and concentrations are analyzed and established by inductively coupled plasma (ICP)
  • Ready-made liquid mixture containing all ingredients.
  • Decreases exposure to chemical and toxic risks associated with the powder form of the trace elements
