Description
Plate count agar, ISO 6222, is a solid culture medium designed for the enumeration of culturable microorganisms in accordance with the ISO 6222 reference method. Supplied as a 500 g pack of dehydrated agar base, it enables laboratories to prepare plates for colony-count determinations in water and related sample matrices. After reconstitution and sterilisation following standard procedures, the medium forms a clear nutrient agar suitable for pour-plate or spread-plate techniques used in routine microbiological quality control. The ISO 6222 designation links the formulation to widely adopted water-testing practice, supporting comparable results across laboratories that follow this standard. This plate count agar from manufacturer Dinkelberg originates from Hungary and fits conventional culture-media inventories for environmental and industrial microbiology. The 500 g unit size is practical for medium-throughput laboratories that prepare plates on demand while maintaining batch consistency. Intended for professional laboratory use, the product supports standardised heterotrophic plate-count workflows without requiring ready-poured plates.
This article is part of Ready-to-use culture media (plates, tubes, bottles), in Culture media & microbiology.

Questions about Plate Count Agar, ISO 6222, 500g
What is this article?
Plate Count Agar, ISO 6222, 500g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Dinkelberg 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.
