<b>BACKGROUND INFORMATION: </b> <br>LB stands for Luria Broth, a nutritionally rich medium, which is one of the most common media used in the laboratories worldwide. <br>LB medium is recommended safe for student use, whereas Tryptic Soy Agar medium is NOT suitable for student use due to its ability to amplify blood-born pathogenic bacteria. <br> <br> <b>KIT CONTENT:</b> <br> <br>1) 10x Pre-poured sterile LB-agar plates (100 x 15 mm Petri Dish) <br>2) 10x 6-inch sterile cotton swabs (2 per pouch)<br>3) Detailed Instruction<br>4) Free Science Fair Project E-Book</br><br>LB agar plates should be placed in a refrigerator upon arrival. LB-agar plates stored under such conditions have a minimum shelf life of 3 months. <br> <br> <b>BRIEF INSTRUCTION: </b> <br>1) Take out one sterile cotton swab. Gently wipe a test area with the cotton swab to pick up bacteria. Here are some of the popular samples of the test objects: human or pet teeth, hands, phone, TV remote, restaurant menu, sink, floor, fruit, vegetable etc. <br>2) Take out one of the agar plates (No warm-up is needed). Open the agar plate and gently streak the agar plate with the cotton swab to transfer the bacteria onto the surface of the agar plate. <br>3) Cover the agar plate and place it in an upside-down position in an incubator with a temperature between 85 and 100 oF. A desk lamp or a portable heater can be used as a heat source. <br>4) Watch appearance of small bacterial colonies on the surface of the agar plates after 12-48 hr of incubation. <br> <br> <b>LIVE TECHNICAL SUPPORT: </b> <br>EZ Prepoured LB agar plates are backed by our 100% money back guarantee.
