Minimal Glucose Agar (MGA)Minimal Glucose Agar (MGA)

Minimal Glucose Agar (MGA) is a selective media widely used for bacterial Ames mutagenicity assays that utilize bacteria to test whether a given chemical is mutagenic and therefore may act as a carcinogen.

All Moltox Minimal Glucose Agar Plates come with a comprehensive CoA (Certificate of Analysis) specified for the conduct of Ames Mutagenicity assays:

  • Ready to use: 90mm dishes, 6-well and 24-well plates
  • Storage at room temperature*
  • Shelf life 6 months (*except multi-well sizes)
  • Quality control by growth and colony formation test with S. typhimurium TA100 as described by Maron & Ames.

Nutrient Agar and Nutrient BrothNutrient Agar and Nutrient Broth

Nutrient Broth Bacterial Media are used in many laboratory procedures for microbiological culture. It is regularly used for enumeration, isolation and enrichment of non-fastidious microorganisms.

  • Enrichment of non-fastidious microorganisms, e.g. Escherichia, Salmonella & Staphylococcus
  • Bacteriological analyses of water, food and other materials
  • Tests for sensitivity and resistance

Tryptic Soy Agar and BrothMoltox Tryptic Soy Agar and Broth.jpg

Tryptic Soy Agar / Broth is also known as TSA or Trypticase Soy Agar. Typically it is used for the isolation and cultivation of fastidious and non-fastidious microorganisms. As a general-purpose, nonselective media it provides enough nutrients for a wide variety of microorganisms.

Tryptic Soy Agar contains enzymatic digests of casein and soybean meal, which provide amino acids and other nitrogenous substances.

TSA is frequently the base medium of other agar plate types. For example, blood agar plates (BAP) are made by enriching TSA plates with defibrinated sheep blood. Chocolate agar is made through additional cooking of BAP.
