Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

The Tryptic soy agar plates for testing water disinfected by uv light are not available at the sciencekit website. what should I get instead?

Hi Powfam06,

There are other kinds of media that you can use. LB agar (Luria Bertani) works just as well. You can also try nutrient agar. If you post a link to the website you are looking at I can take a look at the kinds of plates the sell.

Here is a link to our page about agar plates:
