Description

General description

Lennox LB is a highly-referenced microbial growth medium used for the cultivation of E. coli. This nutrient-rich microbial broth contains peptides, amino acids and carbohydrates in a low-salt formulation.

Application

LB Broth with agar (Lennox) has been used for:

the transformation of competent E. coli cells
to cultivate Ecc-15 bacteria
embedding scaffold containing tissue derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and immunohistochemistry (IHC)

It is suitable for non-selective cultivation of E. coli strains for cloning, DNA plasmid production and production of recombinant proteins. Also suitable for selective cultivation when appropriate antibiotics are added, including those that require low-salt conditions, such as Zeocin^®.

Features and Benefits

Lennox LB powder with agar provides:

A budget-friendly alternative to pre-poured plates
Easy scale-up using larger package sizes
Standard formulation
