Description
VRB Agar is a culture medium preparation for microbiological laboratory use, supplied in a 500 g pack. The agar supports routine media preparation where VRB formulations are specified for laboratory workflows in quality control, teaching, and research. Laboratories can prepare plates or other formats according to their own validated procedures, helping maintain consistent batch quality across successive media runs. The 500 g pack size offers a practical stock quantity for medium-throughput media kitchens that balance regular consumption with manageable inventory. Handling follows standard practice for powdered agar media, and clear pack identification assists weighing, storage organisation, and documentation. This medium from manufacturer Dinkelberg originates from Hungary and corresponds to common laboratory material categories used for culture media. It fits smoothly into general microbiology media schedules that call for VRB agar as part of established testing or instructional protocols. The compact unit format supports efficient day-to-day preparation, straightforward stock rotation, and reliable identification within controlled laboratory environments.
This article is part of Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), in Culture media & microbiology. See also Petri dishes.

Questions about Violet Red Bile Lactose Agar, 500 g
What is this article?
Violet Red Bile Lactose Agar, 500 g 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.
