Description
Product Overview
The Innovating Science Nutrient Agar Broth Tubes are engineered for consistency and reliability in microbiological testing. Each tube contains 9 mL of sterile, ready‑to‑use nutrient broth formulated to sustain a wide variety of bacteria and fungi. The broth is prepared using high‑purity ingredients sourced in the United States, ensuring a contaminant‑free environment for accurate culture results.
Dimensions of each tube measure 1.9 x 5.3 x 5.3 inches, weighing approximately 12.8 ounces, making them easy to handle and store. The classic black rubber‑lined phenolic caps create a hermetic seal that prevents external contamination while allowing for easy inoculation when required. The packaging of twelve tubes per case offers both convenience and cost‑effectiveness for laboratories and educational settings.

Usage
These broth tubes are suitable for a broad range of applications, from routine clinical diagnostics to academic teaching labs. Their sterile formulation supports the growth of non‑fastidious organisms, making them an ideal choice for general purpose media in microbiology courses, research projects, and quality‑control testing in industrial environments.
Because the broth is pre‑aliquoted, users can eliminate the time‑consuming steps of media preparation, sterilization, and dispensing. This feature is especially valuable in high‑throughput settings where consistency and speed are paramount. The tubes can be incubated at standard temperatures (typically 35‑37 °C) and are compatible with both aerobic and facultative anaerobic protocols.
In classroom environments, the clear labeling and easy‑to‑open caps help students focus on experimental design rather than media handling, fostering a hands‑on learning experience that aligns with curriculum standards for life‑science education.

FAQ
What types of microorganisms can be cultured in these broth tubes?
The nutrient agar broth supports both Gram‑positive and Gram‑negative bacteria, as well as many common fungi. It is a non‑selective medium, making it suitable for general growth studies and preliminary isolation work.
Are the tubes sterile upon arrival?
Yes, each tube is sealed with a sterile, rubber‑lined phenolic cap that maintains sterility until the user opens the tube for inoculation.
Can I use these tubes for anaerobic cultures?
While the broth is primarily formulated for aerobic and facultative anaerobic organisms, it can be used in anaerobic chambers if the appropriate gas‑exchange methods are employed.
What is the shelf life of the product?
When stored at room temperature in a dry environment, the tubes retain their sterility and performance for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture.
Do you provide technical assistance for troubleshooting experiments?
Our customer support team includes experienced microbiologists who can help with protocol optimization, media handling, and any issues that arise during your experiments.
