Instant powder, quantity for desired volume of medium sealed in heavy-duty light-proof |
plastic bag. To be used immediately after opening. Simple medium preparation: |
just add the powder to near boiling water, stir to avoid clumping, add water up to final |
volume, if dispensed into several culture vessels first heat until gelling agent is dissolved, |
fill into vessels, autoclave and let the medium cool down to be ready for use. The coconut |
powder forms a harmless whithish precipitation on the medium surface. |
