Agar, Bacteriological No. 1 Dehydrated Culture Media

This bacteriological agar is meticulously purified to conform to the USP/EP Pharmacopeia, ensuring its quality and purity. Its unique hysteresis property allows it to melt at approximately 85-91°C but solidify at 34-36°C, providing a broad temperature range for handling and pouring media. With good diffusion characteristics and a relative absence of metabolically useful minerals, this agar ensures that your microbial cultures grow without interference from the medium itself, guaranteeing more accurate and reproducible results.

Please note: Agar, Bacteriological No. 1 is for laboratory use in preparing microbiological culture media and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans.
