Description
Salmonella-Shigella Agar is a dehydrated nutrient medium for microbiology, supplied in a 500 g plastic pack for preparation of selective solid culture media. This classic agar base is used in laboratory workflows focused on cultivation and differentiation steps associated with enteric bacteria during microbiological examination. After reconstitution according to established media protocols, plates prepared from the dehydrated powder support routine isolation work in research, teaching, and quality-control settings. The formulation belongs to the broader group of dehydrated nutrient media employed when laboratories need a ready-to-make selective agar for enteric screening procedures. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, the product is presented as a practical bulk pack for media kitchens that prepare multiple plate batches. Unit quantity is 500 g, with a pack weight of 0,604 kg, suited to medium-scale laboratory use. Categories linked to the item include chemicals and general laboratory microbiology supplies. Standard reconstitution, sterilisation where required, and aseptic pouring practices help deliver consistent plate quality for downstream microbial testing.
This article belongs on Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), in Culture media & microbiology. See also Petri dishes.

Questions about Salmonella-Shigella Agar, for microbiology, 500 g, plastic
What is this article?
Salmonella-Shigella Agar, for microbiology, 500 g, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth 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.
