Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA) Tube, USP Grade

Packaged in 20 mm x 125 mm optically clear glass tubes with 18 mL fill volume, this versatile medium serves dual purposes for both primary isolation and culture maintenance applications. The nutrient-rich TSA formulation supports cultivation of a wide variety of microorganisms, making it suitable for initial isolation from specimens, while the tube slant format provides the ideal configuration for storage, maintenance, and transportation of pure cultures in reference collections and stock culture programs. Glass construction provides excellent optical clarity for observing colony morphology and growth characteristics, while ensuring superior chemical resistance and thermal stability for reliable long-term culture preservation. The 18 mL volume provides generous surface area on slants for streak inoculation and subculturing, while the tube format offers space-efficient storage compared to plates and simplified handling for culture transfers between laboratories. The USP compliance ensures suitability for pharmaceutical microbiology applications requiring standardized general-purpose cultivation media.
