Product Name – Plate Count Agar Plates w/ 0.15% TTC Quantity/Pack Size – 20 plates Form – Solid agar plates Grade – Laboratory grade Application – Bacterial enumeration and colony differentiation
Product Overview
Plate Count Agar Plates with 0.15% TTC are designed for accurate enumeration and differentiation of bacterial colonies in laboratory settings. These plates are formulated with a high-quality agar base that supports the growth of a wide range of bacteria, making them ideal for general microbiological studies. The inclusion of 0.15% TTC (2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride) allows for easy differentiation of bacterial colonies based on their metabolic activity, with colonies appearing red due to the reduction of TTC to formazan. This feature enhances the visibility and accuracy of colony counts, making these plates a valuable tool for researchers and educators. The plates are manufactured under stringent quality control measures to ensure consistency and reliability, providing a solid foundation for your microbiological experiments.
FAQs
1. What is the primary use of Plate Count Agar Plates with 0.15% TTC?
These plates are primarily used for the enumeration and differentiation of bacterial colonies in laboratory settings.
2. How does TTC aid in bacterial differentiation?
TTC (2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride) is reduced to formazan by metabolically active bacteria, causing colonies to appear red, which aids in differentiation.
3. Are these plates suitable for all types of bacteria?
Plate Count Agar Plates with 0.15% TTC support the growth of a wide range of bacteria, making them suitable for general microbiological studies.
4. What is the grade of these agar plates?
These plates are laboratory grade, ensuring high quality and reliability for your experiments.
5. How should these plates be stored?
Store these plates in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their quality and effectiveness.
