Kligler Iron Agar, for microbiology, 500 g, plastic

Kligler Iron Agar is a classical nutrient medium for microbiology, offered in a 500 g plastic pack for laboratory media preparation. Used in microbiological workflows that require an iron-containing agar medium, it supports differentiation and culture procedures performed under standard laboratory conditions. The pack provides a 500 g unit quantity with a net weight of 0,332 kg, which is convenient for preparing multiple tubes or plates from a single container. As a dry medium for microbiology, Kligler Iron Agar is weighed, dissolved, and sterilised following established laboratory methods before inoculation. This product from manufacturer Carl ROTH is aimed at professional laboratories that maintain a core set of biochemical and culture media for microbial identification work. Plastic packaging facilitates clean storage and handling on the media bench and in the storeroom. The defined pack size helps laboratories plan batch volumes and keep consistent stock levels for routine diagnostic or teaching use. No additional performance grades beyond the stated microbiological purpose are claimed. Kligler Iron Agar in the 500 g format is a practical choice for facilities that prepare differential iron agar media in-house.
