Agar Agar

A solidifying agent used in preparing microbiological culture media in a laboratory setting

RangeBacteriology Media
CompositionFinal pH is 6.5-7.5 at 25°C
PreparationAgar is used in culture media in following concentrations: For Routine Media: 1.4 to 1.6%, For Soft Media: 0.5%, For Semi-solid Media: 0.15%, For Media with Reduced Oxygen Tension: 0.05 - 0.1%, For Extra Hard Gels, for inhibiting swarming of Proteus species: 2.5% - 3.0%. If the culture medium has a pH <5.0 the working strength should be 2% (2g /100ml). Heat to boiling to dissolve the medium completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 15lbs pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Cool to 45-50°C. Mix well and pour into sterile Petri plates.
StorageBioScien Agar Agar should be stored between 10-30°C in a firmly closed container and most prepared medium at 2-8°C. Use before expiry date on the label. On opening, product should be properly stored dry, after tightly capping the bottle in order to avoid lump development due to the hygroscopic nature of the product. Improper storage of the product may lead to lump formation. Store in a dry ventilated area protected from extremes of temperature and sources of ignition. Seal the container tightly after use. Product performance is best if used within stated expiry period.
