Bacteriological Agar Powder
Your Premier Bacteriological Agar Powder Supplier
Introduction
Bacteriological agar powder is a crucial medium for microbiological research, made from purified red algae like Gelidium and Gracilaria. It is specifically formulated to meet the demanding needs of microbiological laboratories, providing a consistent and reliable base for growing a wide variety of microorganisms.
This agar powder is used to create a firm, stable gel that allows researchers to culture bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms for research, diagnostics, and industrial applications. Its high purity and exceptional gel strength make it an ideal choice for laboratories where accuracy and consistency are critical.
Key Features and Benefits
Pure and Reliable
The high purity of bacteriological agar ensures that no extraneous substances interfere with microbial growth, delivering more accurate and reliable results.
Strong Gelation
Provides a firm, stable gel structure that holds its form during incubation. This is crucial for isolating individual colonies, especially for bacteria that require specific growing conditions.
Transparency for Accurate Observation
The transparent gel allows for easy observation of microbial growth and colony formation, which is critical for diagnostic accuracy and research studies.
Thermal Stability
Bacteriological agar has excellent thermal stability, allowing it to withstand autoclaving and sterilization processes without compromising its performance.
Versatile Applications
This agar powder can be used to prepare various culture media for bacterial, fungal, and yeast cultivation, including nutrient agar, MacConkey agar, Sabouraud agar, and more.
