Description
Agar, bacteriological, European BAC, 500 g is a culture-media gelling agent prepared for microbiological laboratory use to European BAC specifications. This bacteriological-grade agar is supplied in a 500 g pack and is intended for solid and semi-solid nutrient media used in routine plating, isolation, enrichment and colony enumeration. Clear, stable gels support standard media recipes across clinical diagnostics, food and beverage testing, environmental monitoring and academic research. The powder can be dissolved and autoclaved following established protocols for pour plates, streak plates and selective or differential base formulations. The product belongs to the LABKEM range from manufacturer Labbox and is delivered as a single package with a net weight of 0,580 kg, simplifying stock control in media kitchens and quality-control laboratories. Where a consistent European BAC bacteriological agar is specified, this 500 g unit offers a practical pack size for day-to-day media preparation without unnecessary bulk.
This article is part of Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), in Culture media & microbiology. See also Petri dishes.

Questions about European bacteriological agar BAC, 500 g
What is this article?
European bacteriological 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 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.
