General description

Miller′s LB is a highly-referenced microbial growth medium used for the cultivation of E. coli. This nutrient-rich microbial broth contains peptides, amino acids, water-soluble vitamins, and carbohydrates in a low-salt formulation. The addition of agar provides a solid medium for microbial growth.

Application

LB Agar Ampicillin-100, Plates has been used to plate and incubate the mixture of thawed bacteria and plasmid solution for vimentin expression. It has also been used in the generation of the Trypanosoma brucei RNAi library.

Features and Benefits

Miller′s LB Agar plates provide:
  • Convenient, ready-to-use 10cm format
  • Standard formulation plus antibiotic

Other Notes

15g/L Agar

  2. Why do the LB-agar plates with antibiotics have such a short expiration date?

    1 answer
    1. The antibiotics in the LB-agar plates are not stable.  The antibiotic degrades over time, making it ineffective at selecting transformed bacteria grown on the plate.  Because of this, we recommend the plates are used as soon as possible once they are received.  For labs with low use, the plates may expire quickly, so they may benefit from pouring their own plates using the LB - Miller powder with agar formulation (L3147).
