Vigor Series - Prepared Agar Plates
Fuel Your Cultures with Mush Ohio's Vigor Series
When speed and strength matter, our Vigor Series delivers. This rich Malt-Yeast-Peptone Agar (MYPA) formulation provides the nutrient density that fast-growing species and commercial operations demand.
While our Foundation Series encourages selective rhizomorphic growth, the Vigor Series takes the opposite approach — maximum nutrition for maximum speed. It's the plate you reach for when you need to rapidly expand a culture before spawn production or revive a sluggish isolate.
