Lab 1Introduction
Exercise 18 Culture Media Preparation Part 1
Preparation: read pages 123 130
Background:Culture Media nutrients used to grow cells or microbes
A. Agar nutrients in gel-like formPlatesSlantsDeeps
B. Broth nutrients in liquid form
Procedure:Weigh out then mix media with water in a flask that is at least twice the capacity of the volume of
the water used.If media is an agar, heat to boiling for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to dissolve.
Turn hot plate on "10". Broths do not require heating.Boiling media will foam up, so be ready with a hot pad to quickly remove media from hot plate.Dispense required volume into tubes using a pipet. If preparing plates, just cap flask with foil.Put caps on tubes.For tubes, write 4 labels with class, type of media, and date, and then put on top of caps. Use a
pencil.For flasks used for plates, write 2 labels with class, type of media and date, and then put one on foil
and one on flask.Put the media in the spot designated by the instructor.
Instructor will autoclave media.Rinse out pipettes with water using pipette pump.
