LB Agar (Lennox L Agar), powder, 2.5 kg - FAQs

I need to buy media to prepare agar plates, which I will be using to grow colonies after transformation (molecular cloning). Which product would you recommend?

We offer two options:

The first is our formulation of LB agar (catalog number 22700-025), which has LB Media and agar mixed together. This comes in a 500g and 2.5 kg size. All you have to do is measure out, add water, and autoclave.

The second option is even easier. Our imMedia comes premeasured in pouches. We have three types: imMedia Amp Agar, Kan Agar and Zeo Agar for ampicillin, kanamycin and Zeocin-containing plates. All you have to do is empty the pouch, add water, heat and pour plates. No autoclaving is needed! Each pouch contains sufficient reagents for 8-10 plates.
