Terrific Broth (TB) agar plates are solid, rich bacterial growth media containing tryptone, yeast extract, glycerol, and phosphate-buffering components. TB agar supports robust bacterial growth while maintaining pH stability during extended incubation, making it ideal for high-yield cloning and plasmid production workflows.

TB agar plates are commonly used to culture E. coli and other non-fastidious bacterial strains used for generating recombinant DNA and protein expression. Compared to standard LB agar, TB agar plates often yield larger colonies and higher cell densities, which support downstream molecular biology and applications.

Our Terrific Broth (TB) agar plates are supplied as ready-to-use pre-poured plates, eliminating in-house media preparation and reducing variability. Our TB agar plates provide consistent nutrient composition, reliable buffering capacity, and uniform colony growth.

We manufacture a selection of off-the-shelf TB agar plates, with options including antibiotics kanamycin (50 µg/mL) and carbenicillin (100 µg/mL), using validated processes and rigorous quality control to ensure sterility, performance, and lot-to-lot consistency. We also provide custom manufacturing services, with options including modified TB agar formulations, antibiotic combinations (up to 5), alternative plate formats, and bulk quantities to support specialized molecular biology workflows.
