Applications

Microbiology
Culture growing

General

What is Agar Powder (Bacteriological)? It is a purified form of agar, a polysaccharide derived from seaweed, specifically designed for use in microbiological culture media. It serves as a gelling agent, providing a stable, solid surface for the growth of microorganisms like bacteria and fungi. This grade of agar is preferred because it lacks inhibitory agents that could hinder microbial growth and is known for its clarity, stability, and ability to form a firm gel.

Consistent Quality: We provide only high-quality Agar Powder (Bacteriological), ensuring reliable and consistent performance for all applications.

Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and packaged in non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers to ensure safe handling and preserve product quality during transport.

Frequent Uses
