How much should i use?

As a rule of thumb, use an amount of 10 grams of the item for every 500ml of water.

For instance, if you're making: 500ml of liquid culture, add 10 grams of DLME 1000ml of Agar Petri dishes, add 20 grams of DLME.

• 500ml of liquid culture, add 10 grams of DLME

• 1000ml of liquid culture, add 20 grams of DLME same rule for agar petri dishes.

Instructions

The mix needs to be sterilised before use. Place a magnetic Stir bar inside the jar along with the liquid culture. Sterilise in Autoclave at 15psi for 20 minutes or Microwave for 2 minutes x3 times. Once sterilisation is complete, cool your jar until it reaches room temperature. Inoculate the Jar with clean Liquid culture for 1-2 weeks for it to colonise. The Jar needs to be stirred using magnetic stir bar for 5 minutes. Some sedimentation might be present at the bottom of the jar after sterilisation. This is normal.

How to store?

Keep your item dry and cool to avoid melting and clumping. Our DLME includes desiccants to keep moisture away. Using an airtight container is also recommended to avoid moisture.
