Frequently Asked Questions
Q
What grades of yeast peptone are available?
Yeast peptone is available in three grades: Industrial Grade, Pharmaceutical Grade, and Reagent Grade. Each grade is designed to meet specific application requirements, from general microbial culture to high-purity laboratory use.
Q
What is the difference in solubility between grades?
Industrial Grade yeast peptone is slightly soluble in a 2% solution, Pharmaceutical Grade achieves complete lysis, and Reagent Grade produces a pellucid (clear) solution — making it the highest purity option for sensitive laboratory applications.
Q
Can the product specifications be customized?
Yes. While the physicochemical index represents the general specification, we offer customization of product parameters to meet specific customer requirements. OEM packaging is also available upon request.
Q
How should yeast peptone be prepared before use?
Yeast peptone should be fully dissolved in the appropriate volume of water and then sterilized before use. This ensures optimal performance in microbial culture media and eliminates potential contamination.
Q
What packaging options are available for yeast peptone?
Standard packaging includes Compound Paper Bags (25kg/bag) and Cardboard Buckets for bulk orders. Reagent-grade products are packed in 250g plastic bottles. Custom packaging sizes and OEM labeling are available according to customer requirements.
Q
What are the storage requirements for yeast peptone?
Yeast peptone should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment, away from moisture and direct sunlight. The product must remain in powder form with no caking. Moisture content must be kept at or below 6.0% to maintain product quality.
