Smith River Biologicals has worked closely with colleges and high schools for many years to provide microbiology supplies that are both high quality and cost effective. The products listed below are the main items we stock that are used in the microbiology classroom, but we will manufacture any other media that you may need, regardless if it is in our current catalog or not.
All of our agar and broth products may be made to your specifications for volume, agar depth, pH, and product container. Our most common agar plate is the 100 mm single-compartment plate. Other options are the contact plate, the 60 mm plate, the 150 mm plate, and the two-, three-, and four-compartment plates. Our four tube sizes are as follows: * 16×100 mm flat bottom * 16×125 mm flat bottom * 20×100 mm flat bottom * 20×125 mm flat bottom. Our screw-top cups hold a maximum of 100 ml, and our bottles are 500 ml and 1 L. All of these containers are also available for purchase; please see the Consumables tab under the Product Catalog. If you need a container that we do not currently offer, please contact us.
Our dry bases are manufactured in house and not repackaged from another manufacturer. We package the dry bases based on your end-lot volume specifications to eliminate the chance of ingredients settling out in a larger-than-lot-size container.
