Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) Glass Tube with Dual-Port Flush Septa Cap, 10mL
Details
Hardy Diagnostics K182 Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) is a sterile, ready-to-use general-purpose culture medium supplied as a 10 mL fill in a 16 × 125 mm glass tube for sterility testing and the cultivation of a wide variety of bacteria and fungi. Featuring a blue dual-port flush septa cap with distinct circular and squircle-shaped ports, the tube supports rapid port identification for sample inoculation, aerobic-culture venting, and sample withdrawal procedures. For laboratory use only; not intended for human diagnostic use.
