Terrific Broth (Powder)
Potassium phosphate dibasic, Potassium phosphate monobasic, Tryptone, Yeast Extract
Terrific Broth is a highly enriched bacteriological medium specifically designed by Tartof and Hobbs to increase the yield of plasmid DNA derived from suspension cultures of E. coli due in part to the increased buffering capacity derived from using mono and dibasic phosphates.
BSE-Free: All raw materials of animal origin are sourced from USDA-designated BSE-Free countries.
Dust-Free: Specially milled powder blends are designed to eliminate or greatly reduce airborne particulates.
Homogeneous: Proprietary blending technology ensures complete mixing of components.
Appearance
Light tan, homogeneous, free flowing powder
Solubility
Light to medium amber, clear to trace hazy with none to light precipitate after autoclaving
Directions per Liter Dissolve 47.6g grams in 800-900ml of ddH2O stirring gently until completely solubilized. Adjust pH of the medium to the desired level. Add additional water to bring the solution to1L. Dispense into appropriate containers, loosen caps and autoclave (15psi) for 15 minutes at 121ºC.
The original formulation calls for the addition of 4ml glycerol per liter broth solution.
