Related Product Information for Tryptone Substitute reagent
Atholate is a proprietary blend of plant protein hydrolysates designed to replace traditional casein hydrolysate in the preparation of bacteriological media. Atholate is APF (Animal-Product- Free) Certified guaranteed to have no animal derivatives while still maintaining quality performance. Atholate matches the nutritional and performance characteristics of standard casein hydrolysates and can be used for the cultivation of a wide range of microbial species. Atholate is the key ingredient in Athena's new Animal-Product-Free LB Broths, which perform equivalent to their animal-derived counterparts. Athena's APF LB Broths are available in Miller, Lennox and Luria formulations and are superb media for the cultivation of Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Pseudomonas, Bacillus and other eubacteria species.
In recent years, the use of animal-derived raw materials has become a concern as a source of harmful contaminants to manufacturers of biopharmaceutical products.5 Initially, this concern was confined to the manufacturing end of the industry. As the regulatory environment has evolved in regard to the use of animalderived materials, greater restrictions are being placed at earlier stages of product development. The consequence is a pressing need for media formulations which are not made from animal sources.
To address this, we have developed a non-animal protein hydrolysate to replace the casein hydrolysate. An obvious choice for the casein replacement would be plant-derived hydrolysates, however, no one plant protein source has the same amino acid composition as casein. Therefore, the direct replacement of casein hydrolysate with a plant protein hydrolysate would not yield a medium with the same nutritional composition. To overcome this limitation, we have designed a blended plant-based protein hydrolysate that matches casein hydrolysate in composition and in performance.

Product Notes
The Tryptone Substitute (Catalog #AAA635303) 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 "Tryptone Substitute, 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
