Description
Phenol Red Agar Base is a microbiological agar base supplied in a 500 g laboratory pack for preparation of solid culture media. The phenol red designation identifies this base for workflows in which an indicator-containing agar is specified, supporting carbohydrate-related or differential plating once the medium is completed according to laboratory procedure. The 500 g pack size is suited to facilities that prepare media in batches and need a stable stock of base powder for regular use. This product from manufacturer Dinkelberg originates from Hungary and belongs to the culture-media materials used across research, teaching and quality-control laboratories. Staff can reconstitute and sterilise the base following their validated methods, adding any carbohydrates or other components required by the test protocol. Clear naming on the pack reduces selection errors when several agar bases are held in the same store. Phenol Red Agar Base offers a practical bulk format for teams that prefer in-house media preparation over ready-poured plates. It serves as a standard named component for microbiology laboratories that maintain phenol red agar formulations in their method portfolio.
This article is part of Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), in Culture media & microbiology. See also Petri dishes.

Questions about Phenol Red Agar Base, 500g
What is this article?
Phenol Red 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.
