DIYScience : Malt Extract Yeast Agar (MEYA) Petri Dishes x12 (Sterile, Vacuum sealed & Ready to use)

Malt Extract Agar is used as a general purpose growth media to isolate and cultivate yeasts, molds and fungi from clinical samples, as well as a wide range of environmental sources.

Malt Extract Agar is designed to contain the proper formulation of carbon, protein and nutrient sources essential for yeast, mold and fungi growth. Dextrose is added to the medium to provide a carbon and energy source for fungi. Additionally, our Malt Extract Yeast Agar contains digests of animal tissues (peptones) and yeast extracts which provide a nutritious source of amino acids, nitrogenous compounds and vitamin B complex for the growth of mold, fungi and yeasts.

The pH is adjusted to approximately 5.5 in order to enhance the growth of fungi and to slightly inhibit bacterial growth commonly found as environmental contaminants.

All our agar medias are sterilised by autoclave and prepared aseptically in category 2 ULPA laminar flow cupboards in a commercial laboratory conforming to ISO 14644 Part 1 class '5' standards. Each 90mm petri dish contains 22ml of malt extract agar which is transferred via aseptic serological pipetting techniques, insuring each petri dish is uniform, level and free from imperfections.

As a result we can guarantee the highest quality, contamination free plates.

We are also proud suppliers to industry and diagnostic labs and conform to all reverent ISO standards.

This product is vacuum sealed to maintain sterility and prolong shelf life. The petri dishes are packaged in convenient 6 plate packs. Our vacuum packaging allows storage at room temperate for up to 3 months, providing the packaging is intact. Once opened, for best results store in a cool environment/fridge (2-8°C). Do not freeze.
