Lab Lemco

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

'Lab Lemco' Powder is a refined meat extract known for its light color and has been produced since 1865.[1] It is used in a wide range of bacteriological growth media and has growth-promoting qualities for cell cultivation in laboratories,[2] and is easier to handle than most meat extracts. [3]

Lemco refers to the original producer of the meat extract, the Liebig's Extract of Meat Company.
