Description
Formulation
Common Applications
Storage

Tryptic Soy Agar Plates, Animal Free is a general-purpose, soy-based agar medium prepared without animal-derived components for the cultivation and maintenance of aerobic and facultatively anaerobic bacteria.

The formulation uses plant-derived peptone, sodium chloride to maintain osmotic balance, and agar as the solidifying agent, providing peptides and amino acids appropriate for routine culture, colony isolation, and microbial enumeration from diverse sample types.

Plates are supplied ready to use for streaking or spread plating. Incubate according to organism requirements; typical incubation is 18–48 hours at 30–37°C. Store at 2–8°C and protect from light; allow plates to reach room temperature before use.

  • 2.0% Animal-Free Soytone
  • 0.5% Sodium Chloride
  • 1.5% Agar
  • General Microbial Cultivation: Supports robust growth of nonfastidious bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterococcus faecalis for routine culture and maintenance.

  • Colony Isolation and Enumeration: Used for streaking mixed samples to obtain isolated colonies and for spread/spiral plating to quantify bioburden and total aerobic plate counts.

  • Environmental Monitoring: Applied to surface swab plating and settle-plate air monitoring in cleanrooms to detect environmental contaminants including Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

  • Sterility and Microbial Limit Testing: Employed in compendial-style QC workflows for sterility checks and microbial limits of raw materials, in-process samples, and finished goods.

  • Quality Control in Pharma, Biologics, and Cosmetics: Used for routine in-process control and release testing to detect objectionable organisms such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica.

  • Growth Promotion Testing (GPT): Verifies media performance by recovering challenge organisms like Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Escherichia coli.

  • Animal-Component–Free Workflows: Suitable for animal-free manufacturing and research, leveraging 2.0% Animal-Free Soytone, 0.5% Sodium Chloride, and 1.5% Agar to meet compliance requirements.

  • Strain Maintenance and Stock Culture Preparation: Preserves laboratory strains and clinical/environmental isolates for downstream assays and reference panels.

  • Food, Beverage, and Water Testing: Detects general aerobic contaminants and indicator organisms from rinse waters, surfaces, and product swabs.

  • Process Hygiene Monitoring: Tracks cleaning and sanitation effectiveness by recovering residual microorganisms from equipment and facility surfaces.
