Nutrient Broth

General-Purpose Liquid Culture Medium
Catalog Number: AS-1309


Overview

Nutrient Broth is a non-selective, general-purpose liquid culture medium widely used in microbiology for the cultivation and maintenance of non-fastidious bacteria. Its balanced formulation supports reliable bacterial growth, making it a standard medium in teaching, research, and quality-control laboratories.

The combination of peptone and yeast extract supplies essential amino acids, peptides, vitamins, and growth factors, while sodium chloride maintains osmotic balance. Nutrient Broth is commonly used for enrichment cultures, routine growth, purity checks, and preparation of inocula prior to further biochemical, molecular, or immunological testing.
