Oxoid™ Dextrose Tryptone Agar (500g) is a general-purpose solid medium used for the cultivation and enumeration of a wide variety of microorganisms, particularly in food and dairy microbiology. The inclusion of dextrose and tryptone provides essential nutrients for bacterial growth, while agar serves as the solidifying agent.

Key Features:

• Form: Dehydrated powder
• Weight: 500g
• Application: Cultivation and enumeration of microorganisms in food, dairy, and environmental samples
• Composition: Dextrose supports energy metabolism; tryptone supplies peptides and amino acids for robust microbial growth
• Preparation: Suspend 33g in 1 liter of distilled water, mix thoroughly, and autoclave at 121°C for 15 minutes
• Yield: Approximately 15.2 liters of prepared medium
• Storage: Store the dehydrated medium at 10–30°C, protected from moisture and light
