Description
ROTI®Aquatest Plate R2A is a ready-to-use, sterile culture plate for microbiological applications, particularly where R2A medium is used for recovery and enumeration of heterotrophic organisms from water and low-nutrient samples. The pre-poured sterile format supports standardised laboratory workflows and reduces preparation variability compared with laboratory-made plates. It fits ready-made media use in microbiology and pharmacopoeia-oriented nutrient media contexts. Density is specified at 1,033 g/cm³. Each unit pack comprises 30 pc(s) and weighs 0,454 kg, convenient for scheduled monitoring programmes, proficiency testing support, and routine analytical batches. This R2A plate from manufacturer Carl ROTH belongs to the ROTI®Aquatest ready-to-use plate series and is intended for laboratories that require consistent plate media for water microbiology and related environmental testing. Handle and incubate according to validated R2A methods and applicable laboratory quality systems.

Questions about ROTI®Aquatest Plate R2A, ready-to-use, sterile, for microbiology, 30 unit(s)
What is this article?
ROTI®Aquatest Plate R2A, ready-to-use, sterile, for microbiology, 30 unit(s) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in DNA & RNA extraction kits, inside Molecular biology, in Life Science & Microbiology.
An extraction kit lyses the sample and then binds the nucleic acid, usually on a column or on a bead, and washes the rest away. Kits for blood, tissue, soil or a PCR cleanup are different chemistries. Yield and the size of fragments they keep are in the protocol. An RNA kit has to protect against RNase.
Molecular biology here is the handling of DNA and RNA. Extraction kits break the cell and then separate the nucleic acid from protein and from the other nucleic acid. PCR and qPCR reagents copy a chosen sequence so it can be seen. The enzymes and the nucleotides are what the copy depends on. Nuclease contamination destroys the sample before the kit can save it. Sequences are on NCBI Nucleotide. Papers are on PubMed.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Molecular biology. The sub-category is DNA & RNA extraction kits. The catalogue is Life Science & Microbiology.
Shelves beside this one are Molecular biology reagents (other) and PCR, qPCR & nucleic acid analysis reagents.
What should I check before I order?
The technical information on this page is the manufacturer's sheet. Read that, not a rewritten specification.
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
