MacConkey Agar, granulated, for microbiology, 500 g, plastic

MacConkey Agar, granulated is a ready-to-use nutrient medium prepared for microbiological work in the laboratory. Supplied as free-flowing granules, it supports routine culture and differentiation tasks within hygiene monitoring and microbiological analyses, including nutrient-media workflows for the examination of foods. The granulated format aids accurate weighing, consistent reconstitution and straightforward handling on the bench. This 500 g pack is delivered in plastic and is intended for microbiology applications where a dependable MacConkey base is required for selective plating and colony assessment. Physical bulk corresponds to a net weight of 0,708 kg, which suits medium-throughput media preparation without frequent reordering. Offered by manufacturer Carl ROTH, the medium fits standard laboratory protocols for food-related and hygiene-oriented testing programmes. Laboratories can integrate the granules into established media kitchens, autoclave cycles and plate-pouring routines while maintaining clear traceability of the culture medium lot. The product addresses everyday needs in quality-control and analytical microbiology where MacConkey-type media are specified for enteric and related examinations.
