Terrific Broth is rich nutritional medium developed by Tartoff and Hobbs supporting luxurious high density growth of E.coli and a higher yield of plasmid DNA compared to LB type media. Recombinant E. coli cells have an extended growth phase in Terrific medium. Terrific Broth medium is used with glycerol as a carbon source. Unlike glucose, glycerol is not fermented to acetic acid. Tryptone and Yeast are present in the medium in elevated concentrations and provide nitrogen, vitamins and cofactors for a luxurious growth. Potassium phosphate is present in Terrific broth buffered to balance the pH

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as FORMEDIUM LIMITED, number 04351225. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
