General description

M-Gredient® Meat Peptone A1 Enzymatically Digested, Granulated, Prime, for Biotechnology and Microbiology is prepared by enzymatic digestion from selected bovine animal tissues. The product provides nitrogen, vitamins, amino acids and carbon in microbiological culture media.

Application

It can be included in various formulations of both liquid and solid culture media designed for the growth of both fastidious and non-fastidious 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.
