Buffered Charcoal Yeast Extract (BCYE) Agar Slant Tubes

Supplied in optically clear glass tubes made from clarified glass for excellent visibility of characteristic Legionella colony morphology, these 20 mm x 125 mm tubes feature flat bottoms for stability when set on end and leak-proof caps that provide security during handling and transportation. The BCYE formulation provides the precise nutrient requirements including L-Cysteine and buffering capacity essential for supporting Legionella growth, while the convenient tube format offers space-efficient storage and simplified handling compared to plates for applications requiring individual sample cultivation, culture preservation, or organism transport between laboratories.
