Description
Mannitol egg yolk polymyxin agar (base) is a dehydrated nutrient medium for microbiology, offered in a 500 g pack. This agar base is specified with ISO 7932, ISO 11133 and ISO 21871 and is intended for laboratory culture-media preparation. The base presentation means the complete mannitol egg yolk polymyxin agar is made up from this dehydrated material before pouring. A 500 g quantity suits routine media preparation where plates are produced in-house for work with lactobacilli and bacilli. From manufacturer Carl ROTH, the article belongs to dehydrated nutrient media for microbiology and is classified among media for lactobacilli and bacilli. The product name identifies the mannitol, egg yolk and polymyxin components of the finished agar. Laboratories that work to the cited ISO documents can align media preparation with those references. The dehydrated form is weighed and reconstituted according to the laboratory protocol, then used as solid culture medium after completion of the formula. The 500 g pack supports repeated preparation of this ISO-referenced agar base in the microbiology laboratory.
This article is part of Antibiotics & antimycotics, in Biochemicals & reagents.

Questions about Mannitol egg yolk polymyxin agar (base)
What is this article?
Mannitol egg yolk polymyxin agar (base) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Antibiotics & antimycotics, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Microbiology lab supplies.
An antibiotic or an antimycotic for laboratory use is specified by potency, often micrograms per milligram, and by the spectrum it is used for in media. A hydrate and a free base differ in mass. Sterile solutions ready for culture and the dry powder are different articles. This is not a medicine for a patient.
A biochemical is a molecule of life, sold as a reagent: an amino acid, a sugar, a nucleotide, a lipid, an enzyme, an antibiotic. The difference from a bulk chemical is that the use is a biological one, and the impurities that matter are the ones that change that use. An enzyme is specified by activity, not only by mass. An antibiotic is specified by potency. Papers are on PubMed. Structures are on PubChem. Strains and lines that consume these reagents are at ATCC.
