Simmons Citrate Agar, 500g

Simmons Citrate Agar is a classical dehydrated culture medium supplied for routine microbiological laboratory work. Offered here as a 500 g pack, it is intended for preparation of solid media used in the differentiation of microorganisms on the basis of citrate utilisation under controlled laboratory conditions. The formulation is widely recognised in clinical, food, environmental and teaching laboratories that require a standardised citrate agar base for streak or plate assays. Prepared according to established Simmons-type medium practice, the product supports consistent plate preparation when reconstituted and sterilised following the laboratory’s validated protocols. This 500 g unit from manufacturer Dinkelberg is suited to medium-throughput workflows where reliable batch continuity and straightforward weighing of powder medium are important. Originating from Hungary, the material falls within standard laboratory culture-media supply and is classified for professional lab use. Laboratories can integrate the agar into existing media kitchens, quality-control schemes and teaching practicals without altering established citrate-test procedures. Pack size and presentation support economical preparation of multiple plates or tubes from a single container while maintaining clear product identity for inventory and documentation.
