Description
CATC Agar Base is a culture medium base provided in a 500 g pack for microbiological laboratories preparing CATC agar according to their established methods. This base format supports diagnostic, food, and research labs that formulate selective plating media in-house and need a consistent starting material for controlled batch preparation. The product comes from manufacturer Dinkelberg and is positioned within laboratory materials for culture media use. Specifications list Hungary as the country of origin and classify the item under the standard UNSPSC code for laboratory culture media. As an agar base, CATC Agar Base is intended to be completed with the supplements and selective agents required by the laboratory’s protocol before pouring and inoculation. The 500 g unit quantity suits routine media kitchens and satellite preparation points that prefer manageable pack sizes while maintaining lot continuity across several runs. Laboratories should reconstitute, sterilise, and finish the medium strictly in line with internal SOPs and relevant reference procedures. This CATC Agar Base offers a straightforward bulk-base option for sites that standardise enterococcal or related selective plating workflows around a defined agar base formulation.
This article is part of Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), in Culture media & microbiology. See also Petri dishes.

Questions about CATC Agar Base, 500g
What is this article?
CATC Agar Base, 500g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Dinkelberg for laboratory use. It sits in Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), inside Culture media & microbiology, in Life Science & Microbiology.
A dehydrated medium is a powder the laboratory dissolves, sterilises and pours. The formulation name, the supplements it still needs, and the grams per litre are the specification. Two powders with similar names, one selective and one not, grow different organisms.
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.
