Product Description
Luria Bertani (LB) agar plates with 100 µg/ml ampicillin are essential for selective bacterial culture in molecular biology and microbiology labs. These pre-poured plates provide a nutrient-rich medium for bacterial growth while inhibiting non-resistant strains, making them ideal for cloning, transformation, and plasmid selection.
Each plate is sterilized and ready to use, ensuring consistency and reliability in your experiments. The addition of ampicillin allows for the selection of bacteria carrying the ampicillin resistance gene, a common requirement in genetic engineering and recombinant DNA studies.
Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, these LB agar plates simplify your workflow by eliminating the need for manual preparation. The molecular biology grade ensures high purity and performance, meeting the stringent demands of modern laboratories.
