Description
2xYT Agar is a rich solid nutrient medium for molecular biology, used to prepare plates that support robust bacterial colony growth. The 2xYT formulation is valued when a nutrient-dense agar base is preferred for cultivation of Escherichia coli and related laboratory strains in cloning, screening, and maintenance workflows. Supplied as a dry preparation in a 500 g plastic pack, the medium can be reconstituted and sterilised following standard laboratory practice before pouring plates. Manufacturer data list a boiling point of 105 °C for the preparation, reflecting handling during media make-up. This 2xYT Agar sits in the nutrient-media range for molecular biology and is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH for everyday life-science use. With a unit quantity of 500 g and a pack weight of 0,604 kg, the pack size fits regular plate production in research and teaching laboratories. After preparation, the solid medium supports colony isolation and selection work where a richer agar background is advantageous. It is intended for professional laboratory applications requiring consistent 2xYT-type solid media.

Questions about 2xYT Agar, for molecular biology, 500 g, plastic
What is this article?
2xYT Agar, for molecular biology, 500 g, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), inside Culture media & microbiology, in Microbiologie.
A dehydrated medium is a powder the laboratory dissolves, sterilises and pours. The formulation name, the supplements it still needs, and the grams per litre are the specification. Two powders with similar names, one selective and one not, grow different organisms.
A culture medium is the food and the solid or liquid home of a microorganism. Dehydrated media are powders the laboratory dissolves and sterilises. Ready-to-use plates and tubes are already that. A Petri dish is the plate. Selective media let one kind of organism grow and hold another back. The formulation and the supplements, not the colour of the agar, are the specification. Reference strains are at ATCC. Methods are on PubMed. Biosafety practice is the WHO laboratory biosafety topic.
