Bacteriological Agar
Model Number IB49172
IBI’s Bacteriological Agar is used as a solidification agent in the preparation of microbiological culture media. Granulated agar is a water soluble colloidal extract from certain species of marine red algae; including Gelidium, Pterocladia, and Gracilaria. Impurities, debris, minerals, and pigments are reduced to specific levels during manufacturing. The majority of microorganisms cannot digest agar, thus making it an excellent solidifying agent.
