Description
Blood Agar No. 2 (Base) is a dehydrated nutrient medium base for microbiology, referenced to ISO 7932 and ISO 11290-1. Prepared according to laboratory protocols and supplemented as required, it supports cultivation and differentiation workflows commonly used for lactobacilli, bacilli and related organisms in food, environmental and clinical microbiology settings. The 500 g plastic pack provides a practical bulk quantity for media kitchens and routine plating programmes. This base from manufacturer Carl ROTH is positioned for laboratories that need a standardised blood-agar foundation aligned with the cited ISO methods, enabling consistent batch preparation when blood or other enrichments are added under aseptic conditions. Clear labelling and category placement among dehydrated nutrient media help streamline ordering and inventory control. Users can integrate the medium into existing SOP frameworks for pathogen screening, colony morphology studies and quality monitoring, while relying on the stated ISO designations for method traceability. The plastic container format suits dry storage and repeated dispensing in busy microbiology suites.

Questions about Blood Agar No. 2 (Base), ISO 7932, ISO 11290-1, 500 g, plastic
What is this article?
Blood Agar No. 2 (Base), ISO 7932, ISO 11290-1, 500 g, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Ready-to-use culture media (plates, tubes, bottles), inside Culture media & microbiology, in Life Science & Microbiology.
A ready-to-use plate, tube or bottle is the medium already prepared and sterile. It saves the autoclave and it expires. The fill volume, the supplements and the storage temperature are the specification. A plate that has dried out or grown a colony of its own is finished.
A culture medium is the food and the solid or liquid home of a microorganism. Dehydrated media are powders the laboratory dissolves and sterilises. Ready-to-use plates and tubes are already that. A Petri dish is the plate. Selective media let one kind of organism grow and hold another back. The formulation and the supplements, not the colour of the agar, are the specification. Reference strains are at ATCC. Methods are on PubMed. Biosafety practice is the WHO laboratory biosafety topic.
