## Description

desertcart.com: Nutrient Agar 100 grams : Industrial & Scientific

Review: It works as expected - This is a great product because it contains all the ingredients for nutrient agar, with directions on the package. I have used this to make a number of petri dishes (using standard techniques of heating in an autoclave to both melt and sterilize, and pouring the plates in an airstream that excludes microbes) and it has worked flawlessly for growing the sorts of microbes I would expect to grow on it. This is an amazing value compared to buying the same product from some "scientific" supplier.
Review: HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR GROWING BACTERIA - I used this product for my experiment (growing bacteria) and it WORKED!!! I was so glad, but the bacteria came back so FASCINATING!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would an InstaPot work in lieu of an autoclave?**
A: Contrary wo what Landor Enterprises says, it does not have to reach 15psi. That's just a standard. There are numerous papers that have used biological tests to determine that an Instant Pot reaching 12-13psi is just as effective as a lab autoclave reaching 15psi.

Yes, you can use an instant pot in lieu of an autoclave.

**Q: What is the composition of the nutrient agar? (ie. tryptone, yeast extract, salts, peptone....)**
A: Hello- Agar, Digest of Gelatin (Pep G), Beef Extract.

**Q: I don't have an autoclave, can you use a microwave? How to calculate how long? Also, how long does it last in a sealed container after mixed? Thanks!**
A: We totally skipped the autoclave process and it begins to set up just fine, and works great for bacteria cultures.  Just boil it and pour it.

**Q: Is this good for mycology?**
A: Hello- No, Nutrient agar is not useful for mycology.  You need MEA (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BA08SE4?ref=myi_title_dp) or PDA (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BA07OYY?ref=myi_title_dp)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR GROWING BACTERIA
*by R***Z on November 6, 2024*

I used this product for my experiment (growing bacteria) and it WORKED!!! I was so glad, but the bacteria came back so FASCINATING!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for mycology!
*by J***G on March 28, 2022*

This agar works excellent in creating nutrient agar plates for mycology. A good simple recipe is 4 grams corn syrup, 8 grams agar agar, 12 grams instant potato flakes and 400 ml of distilled water. Pro tip add 2 - 3 drops of blue food coloring for contrast. That recipe works great with this agar to make petri dishes for mycology.
