Storage and Handling
How should I store my media?
Storage and handling instructions are printed on the CoA and product specification. Both can be requested by emailing info@s2cm.com. Please include the material number and batch number in your request. Storage conditions are based upon stability studies that are performed on every product manufactured by S2M. We do recommend that all media be stored in the dark, away from UV light, to protect any light sensetive components.
When should I not use prepared media?
Do not use any medium that is contaminated, dehydrated, discolored, or past the printed expiration date.
