Overview
Soy Peptone A200S is fine beige powder. It contains a high level of proteins from soybean meal and yeast, in readily absorbable pre-digested forms such as peptides, amino acids, minerals and other growth factors.
How soy peptone grades differ
Soy peptone is enzymatically hydrolysed soy protein, the plant nitrogen source in TSB and other general formulations, and the most common replacement for meat peptones. Grades in a range differ in degree of hydrolysis (amino-to-total nitrogen ratio), molecular weight distribution, carbohydrate content and clarity: more hydrolysed grades are taken up faster and suit start-up and high-density fermentation, less hydrolysed grades carry more peptides and release nitrogen longer. For cell culture choose a grade labelled clear or ultrafiltered. Soy is a declarable allergen; non-GMO raw material is marked on the product page.

Food grade versus laboratory grade
Most culture media suppliers use laboratory-grade raw materials, which are held to lower standards for heavy metal residues, microbial contamination control, and traceability. That is adequate for pure research but not for applications with stricter raw-material requirements. STBIO manufactures with food-grade raw materials throughout, in a facility certified to ISO 22000 food safety management.
- Food microbiology laboratories working to ISO 17025 or equivalent requirements
- Biotech manufacturers exporting fermentation products and needing full raw-material traceability
- Organisations with ESG or compliance audit requirements across their supply chain
- Companies sourcing both Halal and non-Halal products who need one consistent material grade
Frequently asked questions
01Can soy peptone replace tryptone?
In fermentation and routine culture it usually can, with the advantage of no milk allergen and no animal components. Do not substitute it directly in formulations where a standard method specifies tryptone (LB, the indole test), as tryptophan content and peptide profile differ and results may shift.
02Which organisms is it suitable for?
Acetic acid bacteria, Yeast. See the cultural response table and the specification sheet.
03Is it free of animal-derived components?
Yes. This product is animal-origin-free, suitable for animal-free formulations and Halal requirements; a declaration is available on request.
04Is the raw material non-GMO?
Yes. The raw material is non-GMO; the supplier declaration can be provided with the COA.
05Can it be used for food-grade applications?
Yes. It is made from food-grade raw materials in an ISO 22000 certified facility and is suitable for culturing starters for fermented products that are consumed directly.
06How do I request a bulk quotation, and can you provide a COA?
Yes. This product is available in 500 g, 5 kg, 25 kg. Tell us your application and volume when requesting a quotation; we reply within one working day and can supply the COA, specification sheet, and technical data sheet.
