Dehydrated Culture Media

Agars, broths, bases and supplements for isolation, enumeration and identification, including pharmacopoeial formulations and vegetable-peptone media free of animal-origin raw material.

Before you order

A medium is released on growth promotion, not on purity. A chemically immaculate batch that will not grow the reference strain at the expected rate is a failed batch, which is why no assay percentage appears on these listings — the figure that decides the purchase is on the certificate, not the label. Three things to settle before you order: whether your method is pharmacopoeial, in which case the formulation must state the pharmacopoeia and not merely resemble it; whether you need vegetable peptone, which many sites now require to avoid animal-origin raw material; and whether the medium is a two-part pack, because receiving one part of two is the single most common error on this line.

What laboratories usually order alongside this.

Buffers & Culture Media

pH buffer solutions, capsules and tablets, biological buffer substances, and microbiological media components.

Biochemicals & Life Science Reagents

Amino acids, sugars, nucleotides, enzymes, vitamins, biological buffers and plant hormones, in Extra Pure through Molecular Biology grades.

Microbiology & Sterilisation

Autoclaves, laminar air flow cabinets, BOD and bacteriological incubators, colony counters and aseptic handling equipment.

Three things worth checking before you raise the purchase order.

Grade is not a luxury decision. An Extra Pure solvent in an HPLC mobile phase produces a rising gradient baseline and ghost peaks that cost more in re-runs than the grade upgrade would have cost. Equally, buying analytical grade for a teaching practical wastes real money across an academic year. Match the grade to what the result has to survive.

Hydration state changes what you weigh. Magnesium sulphate heptahydrate has a molecular weight of 246.48; the anhydrous salt is 120.37. They carry different CAS numbers and are different products. Catalogues frequently print only “magnesium sulphate”. Every listing here states the hydrate.

Concentrated acids are quoted as cartons, not bottles. 2 × 500 ml and 4 × 2.5 L are the standard configurations in this trade. Comparing a per-bottle price against a per-carton price is the single most common quotation error we see, and it is usually the buyer who absorbs it.

Bulk quantities — 25 kg, 50 kg, 200 L drums — are priced on request because freight and packing dominate the cost. Send us your annual consumption and we will quote a schedule rather than a line item.
