Components for the preparation of commonly used culture media in molecular biology applications

PRODUCT: Dextrose is a hexose derived from corn, and it is free from starches, all other sugars, proteins, alcohols and heavy metals. It is the natural form of glucose (D-glucose). Dextrose is commonly used as a source of energy and carbon in the cultivation of microorganisms.
