Specialty Formulations for E. coli
   

 


CIRCLEGROW® Broth and Agar

Extend plasmid production past log phase

CIRCLEGROW® media is designed for obtaining rapid growth of E. coli and high yields of plasmid DNA. Bacteria grown in conventional culture media reach an abrupt stationary phase upon exhaustion of nutrients. Cell proliferation is halted completely and some cell death and plasmid loss occurs.

At the end of log phase, cells growing in CIRCLEGROW® begin to utilize a proprietary second carbon source which becomes available on a delayed basis. Cell growth and plasmid replication continue long after cells in conventional media have reached stationary phase or expired. Bacteria commonly grow in CIRCLEGROW® to a density triple that achieved in other media (see figure). The slow post-log phase growth of bacteria in CIRCLEGROW® eliminates the need for constant OD monitoring. CIRCLEGROW® cultures left overnight or over the weekend will have a much lower percentage of dead cells, and a higher percentage of plasmid DNA, than cultures prepared with any other media. The result is a higher yield of plasmid DNA in less volume with less attention.

GS96 Broth for Multi-well Plates

High yields of plasmid DNA in 96-well and 384-well plates

GS96 Broth is formulated to grow host cells to the highest density possible without aeration, and to produce high yields of plasmid DNA from those cultures. Perfect for growing bacterial cells in 96-well and 384-well plates, GS96 media can be used in any situation in which aeration of the culture is difficult or absent. GS96 broth is used at the front end of highthroughput automated procedures, and growth can be increased even further by the addition of 0.05% glycerol.

Plasmid Growth Formulations (PGF)

Optimize plasmid yield in a given host cell

Each individual plasmid growth formulation (PGF) demonstrates different growth characteristics for a given plasmid/host system. Use the PGF test pack to determine which of the five different PGF formulations work best for a specific plasmid/host combination, then order the individual PGF formulation that works best for you!

Nutrient Agar Stabs

Contents/liter: Proprietary LB-like formulation containing glucose, cysteine and thymine.

Stabs are a convenient way to store or transport bacterial strains. Vials of soft nutrient agar are stabbed with a loop of a fresh culture and incubated overnight. The caps are then tightened and the cultures are stored in the dark. Special glass vials ensure an airtight environment for at least two years, and most cell types will remain viable for at least this long.
