Description

This course is Intro to Making Media:

Welcome to the Making and Producing Culture Media Workshop, an essential learning experience designed for researchers, lab managers, and students involved in microbiology and biotechnology. This workshop focuses on the principles, techniques, and practical skills required to prepare high-quality culture media for cultivating microorganisms in laboratory settings.
Throughout the workshop, participants will explore the fundamentals of culture media preparation, starting with the selection and sourcing of ingredients essential for supporting the growth of various microorganisms. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the nutritional requirements of different bacterial, fungal, and cell culture systems, and how to customize media formulations accordingly.
Hands-on sessions will provide participants with the opportunity to learn sterile technique, media sterilization methods (such as autoclaving and filtration), pH adjustment, and aseptic handling procedures. Participants will gain practical experience in preparing agar plates, broth media, and specialized media formulations tailored to specific research needs.
Led by experienced instructors with expertise in microbiology and laboratory techniques, this workshop combines theoretical knowledge with practical demonstrations and interactive exercises. Participants will learn best practices for quality control, storage, and documentation of culture media, ensuring consistency and reliability in experimental outcomes.
The workshop will also cover advanced topics such as troubleshooting media preparation issues, optimizing growth conditions for challenging microorganisms, and adapting media formulations for specialized applications in biotechnology and environmental microbiology.
Whether you are new to culture media preparation or seeking to refine your skills, this workshop offers a comprehensive foundation for mastering the art and science of making and producing culture media. Join us to expand your expertise, enhance your laboratory capabilities, and ensure the success of your microbiological research.
