About the Selection Tablets™

Discover the convenience and efficiency of Selection Tablets™ – the world’s first tablet to create selective agar!

Each tablet can create 50 mL of selective agar. Choose the right antibiotic for your experiment(s) from the dropdown. For example, if you are creating more selective agar for the Canvas Kit, BioPrint-it Kit, or Engineer-it Kit, you must choose Chlor.

Cleaning and safety supplies are not included in the kit. Necessary safety and cleaning supplies are latex or nitrile gloves, and a chlorinated bleach cleaner or a 10% solution of chlorinated bleach in a spray bottle (you can make this by adding 9 parts water to 1 part bleach in a spray bottle). You can add a Mini Safety Set to your kit which includes gloves and a reusable plastic apron to protect your clothes.
