Related Product Information for Gelatin, Granules, Porcine reagent
Gelatin is a protein source and solidifying agent for use in preparing microbiological culture media. Gelatin is a protein of uniform molecular constitution derived chiefly by the hydrolysis of collagen (1). Collagens are a class of albuminoids found abundantly in bones, skin, tendons, cartilage and similar animal tissues (1). Koch introduced Gelatin into bacteriology when he invented the gelatin tube method in 1875 and the plate method in 1881. This innovation, a solid culture method, became the foundation for investigating bacterial growth (1). Gelatin-based media were soon replaced by media containing agar as the solidifying agent. Gelatin is used in culture media for determining gelatinolysis (elaboration of gelatinases) by bacteia. Several media containing Gelatin are specified in standard methods for multiple applications (2,3).
The collagen for this product was derived from porcine skin.
Principles of the Procedure The melting point of a 12% concentration of gelatin is between 28-30 degree C, allowing it to be used as a solidifying agent. Certain microorganisms elaborate gelatinolytic enzymes (gelatinases) which hydrolyze gelatin, causing liquefaction of a solidified medium. Gelatin is also used as a nitrogen and amino acid source.

Product Notes
The Gelatin, Granules, Porcine (Catalog #AAA635320) is a Reagent and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Gelatin, Granules, Porcine, Reagent" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
