Anaerobically Poured Custom Media

Anaerobe Systems, now part of Biolog, has the capability to make small batch custom media formulations, and we are happy to work with you to make the media you need.

How it Works

We can manufacture plated and broth media in various formats such as standard petri dishes, square/rectangular dishes, large volume bottles, bags, and more. We will produce your culture media using our TruPRAS™ manufacturing process as well as perform strict quality control on every batch. Anaerobe Systems is an ISO 13845 company, so you can be certain media produced will be of the highest quality.

Custom media formulations will be made according to your specifications, and go through our standard quality control validation verifying fill volume, pH, sterility, and growth performance. Because the media is produced and packaged in an oxygen free environment, it is optimal for the cultivation and preservation of anaerobic bacteria.  With each custom media, we will guarantee that the formulation is made to the user specification and free of contamination, but cannot guarantee specific performance results outside of the organisms that are tested for our quality control process. A certificate of analysis may be provided for an additional one-time fee (not charged for subsequent orders of the same product).  We stock a wide range of components for use in media formulations. In the event we do not have a particular component on hand, we will obtain the material and the quoted price will incorporate the material acquisition cost. Note that a minimum order quantity may apply.

Please fill out the form below and we will contact you to discuss your custom media needs.
