Preparing the LB+agar powder
Mix the contents below to prepare the agar powder required to make 10L of agar solution
- 100gr tryptoptan
- 50gr yeast extract
- 50gr NaCl
- 150 gr agar
Mix the content very well before using the mixed powder
Preparing the LB+agar solution
To prepare 1L of LB+agar solution
- Put 500 ml of distilled water to a tube
- Put 400ml of distilled water to a tube and 35 gr of LB+agar powder. Top the tube up to 500ml with distilled water
- Add 10ul of antifoam to LB+agar tube
- Put the tubes for autoclaving for half an hour
- Put the tube with LB+agar into 55C-60C water bath.
- Put the water tube into the sink to cool it down.
- If necessary, add the antibiotics to LB+agar tube after the tube cools down.
- Mix both tubes throughly
Pouring the plates
- Pour the plates using roughly 25ml of the solution for each Petri dish using the aseptic technique
- Leave the dishes for 30 minutes in room temperature
- Put them into 42C incubator with their lids off to dry them off
- If you are not using the dishes straight away leave them on the bench for a day before placing them to the fridge
