Product Description
Peptone Granulated BactoBio is a high-purity protein derivative designed specifically for bacteriological applications. Sourced from premium raw materials, this granulated peptone provides essential amino acids and nitrogen sources to support robust microbial growth in culture media. Whether you’re a student setting up experiments or a researcher optimizing bacterial cultures, this product delivers consistent performance.
Unlike generic peptones, BactoBio peptone undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure batch-to-batch uniformity. Its fine granulation dissolves easily, making it ideal for preparing nutrient broths, agar plates, and other microbiological media. The product is widely used in academic labs, pharmaceutical testing, and food microbiology due to its reliability.
At eqipped, we understand the importance of precision in lab supplies. That’s why we offer this peptone in two convenient pack sizes—500 grams for small-scale needs and 5 kg for bulk requirements. Each batch is tested for microbial contamination and enzymatic activity to meet international standards.

Key Applications
This peptone is versatile and finds use in multiple laboratory settings:
In academic institutions, it serves as a fundamental component for teaching microbiology courses. Students can confidently prepare culture media knowing the peptone will support consistent bacterial growth.
Research laboratories rely on it for developing selective media, studying antibiotic resistance, and conducting microbial identification tests. The product’s high solubility ensures homogeneous distribution in liquid and solid media.
Quality control labs in pharmaceutical and food industries use this peptone for routine microbial testing, ensuring product safety and compliance with regulatory standards.
Why This Peptone Stands Out
The BactoBio grade sets this product apart from standard peptones. It undergoes additional purification steps to remove impurities that could interfere with bacterial growth. The granulated form offers several advantages:
First, it minimizes dust formation during handling, improving lab safety. Second, the uniform particle size ensures accurate weighing for media preparation. Finally, its stability at room temperature makes storage convenient without compromising quality.
For researchers working with fastidious organisms, this peptone provides the necessary nutrients without introducing inhibitory substances. The product’s documentation includes a certificate of analysis, giving you complete transparency about its composition.
Storage and Handling Recommendations
To maintain the product’s integrity, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption. While the product has a long shelf life, we recommend using it within two years of purchase for optimal performance.
When preparing media, always use sterile techniques to avoid contamination. The peptone dissolves completely in warm water (40-50°C), but avoid excessive heat that could degrade its nutritional value.
Safety Considerations
This product is generally safe for laboratory use, but standard precautions apply. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, lab coat) when handling. In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with water. The product is not for human consumption.
FAQs
What is the difference between granulated and powdered peptone?
Granulated peptone offers better flow properties and reduced dust formation compared to powdered forms. It’s easier to measure accurately and dissolves uniformly in media preparations.
Can this peptone be used for fungal cultures?
While primarily designed for bacteriology, this peptone can support some fungal growth. For dedicated mycological work, we recommend specialized fungal peptones available in our catalog.
What’s the recommended concentration for general bacterial media?
For standard nutrient broth or agar, use 5-10 g/L of this peptone. Specific applications may require different concentrations—consult your protocol or literature for exact requirements.
How does this compare to other brands like HiMedia or Merck?
BactoBio peptone meets the same quality standards as leading brands but offers better value. Our product undergoes identical quality control processes to ensure comparable performance in microbial cultures.
Can I get a smaller pack size for trial purposes?
Currently, we offer 500g and 5kg packs. For research institutions needing larger quantities, contact our sales team for bulk pricing options.
