Product Description

YPD (YEPD) is a nutritionally rich medium for the growth of S. cerevisiae, containing only, peptone and yeast extract, without dextrose. This is useful for variations of YPD requiring alternate carbon sources. Glycerol can be added as a non-fermentable carbon source to make YEP-glycerol (YEPG) for the study of respiratory deficient mutants. Yeast extract and peptone provide carbon, nitrogen, minerals, vitamins, trace ingredients and other essential growth nutrients which stimulate the growth of yeasts.

Application Notes

YED Broth is used for routine growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for molecular biology studies. It is used as a base for making a variation of YPD with an alternate carbon source.

Base Catalog Number	4004046
Format	Large Capsules
Formulation Details	Contents/L: 20 g Peptone; 10 g Yeast Extract-Y
Grade	Molecular Biology Certified™
Media Type	YEP
Pack Size	5 kg
Personal Protective Equipment	Personal Protective Equipment Respiratory protection: Breathing apparatus only if aerosol or dust is formed. Hand protection: PVC or other plastic material gloves Skin and body protection: Usual safety precautions while handling the product will provide adequate protection against this potential effect. Eye protection: Safety glasses with side-shields Hygiene measures: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice
pH	Acceptable pH range is 6.3 - 7.3 at 25 °C
Preparation Method	Media Preparation: Reagents are tested and chosen for their ability to promote optimum growth of S. cerevisiae when combined in YEP Broth formulations. Chosen reagents are combined in the proper proportions according to the YEP formulation and thoroughly blended for a uniform distribution. A sample of the blended formulation is used to prepare agar medium. The combinations are mixed to dissolve components and then autoclaved at 121 °C for 15 minutes.
Solubility	Soluble in Water(30 g/L).
Sterilization of Solutions	Combinations are mixed to dissolve components and then autoclaved at 121 °C for 15 minutes. Note: Autoclaving at higher temperatures or for longer periods will result in darkening of the sterile medium, (a darker color does not normally affect growth of cells, only the appearance of the sterile medium).
Typical Working Concentration	30 g/L
Usage Statement	Unless specified otherwise, MP Biomedical's products are for research or further manufacturing use only, not for direct human use. For more information, please contact our customer service department.
