Description
Plate Count Agar, APHA, ISO 4833:2003 is a dehydrated nutrient medium for microbiological enumeration work. It is specified with reference to APHA and ISO 4833:2003, and is also linked to ISO 11133, making it relevant for laboratories that perform standard plate-count determinations on foods and related samples. The product is intended for microbiology and supports preparation of plates used in hygiene monitoring and food-examination nutrient-media protocols. Approximate weight is 0,604 kg. After reconstitution and sterilisation under the laboratory’s validated procedure, the agar is suitable for pour-plate or surface-count techniques aligned with the cited APHA and ISO references. This Plate Count Agar from manufacturer Carl ROTH is aimed at microbiological analyses where total viable counts are determined on a non-selective nutrient agar base. Apply the medium within accredited or in-house methods that call for plate-count agar conforming to APHA and ISO 4833:2003. Follow good laboratory practice for dehydrated culture media, including accurate preparation, heat sterilisation and aseptic pouring, to maintain consistent performance across routine food and hygiene testing batches.

Questions about Plate Count Agar , APHA, ISO 4833,2003, ISO 11133, ISO 4833,2003, APHA, 500 g
What is this article?
Plate Count Agar , APHA, ISO 4833,2003, ISO 11133, ISO 4833,2003, APHA, 500 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Ready-to-use culture media (plates, tubes, bottles), inside Culture media & microbiology, in Life Science & Microbiology.
A ready-to-use plate, tube or bottle is the medium already prepared and sterile. It saves the autoclave and it expires. The fill volume, the supplements and the storage temperature are the specification. A plate that has dried out or grown a colony of its own is finished.
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.
