Description
Simmons citrate agar BAC is a dehydrated culture medium preparation supplied in a 500 g pack for routine laboratory microbiology work. Presented under the BAC designation, this agar base is intended for preparing solid media used in citrate-related differentiation workflows in bacteriology. The formulation supports standard plate or slant preparation once reconstituted according to laboratory protocols and local quality procedures.
This article is part of Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), in Culture media & microbiology. See also Petri dishes.
Offered as a 500 g unit from manufacturer Labbox, the product suits media kitchens and diagnostic or research laboratories that prepare Simmons citrate medium in-house. Gross weight of the packed unit is 0,58 kg, supporting straightforward stock handling and inventory control. As a LABKEM product type within laboratory materials, it fits organised media-preparation benches where consistent batch sizes and clear labelling matter.
Laboratories can aliquot and prepare the required volumes from the 500 g pack, helping reduce frequent reordering for moderate throughput. Use within established culture-media workflows, following institutional SOPs for weighing, dissolution, sterilisation, and quality control. This pack size balances bench convenience with economical bulk preparation for teaching, clinical support, or research settings that rely on citrate utilisation testing as part of Enterobacteriaceae work-up schemes.

Questions about Simmons Citrate Agar BAC, 500 g
What is this article?
Simmons Citrate Agar BAC, 500 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Labbox for laboratory use. It sits in Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), inside Culture media & microbiology, in Microbiology lab supplies.
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.
