Product Description

Agar Agar Bacteriological Grade

Agar Agar is widely used as a solidifying agent for preparation of culture media.An agar plate or Petri dish is used to provide a growth medium using a mix of agar and other nutrients in which micro organisms,including bacteria and fungi, can be cultured and observed under them icroscope. Since it is indigestible for many organisms, that microbial growth does not affect the gel used and it remains stable.Agar is often dispensed using a sterile media dispenser.

Applications

Culture Media

Because of its high gel lifying power and vegetable origin, Agar Agar constitutes a natural non- toxic matrix for the formation of culture media . It is used as a culture media for practically all pathogenic and non pathogenic bacteria and fungi because it is not easy to metabolise and has good gel firmness, elasticity, clarity and stability.

Plant Tissue Culture

Another major application of Agar Agar is in the field of plant tissue culture.Tissue culture is emerging as the standard method for the propagationof orchids and other ornamental plants, vegetables, fruits and other agricultural products and this has increased the demand for AgarAgar.

Dentistry
