General description

The M-Gredient® Meat Peptone A2 Peptically Digested, Granulated, Prime, for Biotechnology and Microbiology is prepared by peptic digestion of selected animal tissues. Our meat peptone provides nitrogen, vitamins, amino acids and carbon in microbiological and biotechnological culture media.

Application

Due to its rich nutritional value it is suited for biotechnological fermentation applications in the preparation of culture media for various microorganisms. Our special granulation of the meat peptone ensures rapid and uniform dissolution in water, as well as convenient and safe handling, as it prevents clumping and inhalation of the airborne powder.

Features and Benefits

Our Granulated media are:

  • Safer - Significant reduction of inhalation of toxic and allergenic substances resulting in fewer allergic responses. Less contamination of working tools and environment.
  • Accurate - No separation of components and no clumping, even under humid or warm conditions, ensure a uniform product with higher performance accuracy.
  • Fast - Rapid and uniform dissolution in water.
  • Easier - Easier handling and weighing due to the better flow properties. Media do not stick to the flask or container.
  • Reliable - Homogenous distribution of ingredients guarantees high reproducibility even if only small amounts of media are used.
