Description
Hektoen Enteric Agar is a laboratory culture medium supplied in a 500 g pack for enteric microbiology applications where this selective agar type is required. The product is defined by its standard medium name and is intended for professional laboratory use in media preparation following the laboratory’s validated methods. The 500 g unit quantity is appropriate for routine plate preparation in clinical, food, environmental, or teaching laboratories that work with enteric culture media at moderate scale. This agar from manufacturer Dinkelberg falls under laboratory materials and is offered as a clearly labelled bulk powder pack for institutional procurement. Origin information lists Hungary as the country of origin. Hektoen Enteric Agar gives media kitchens a recognised named medium option for workflows that specify this formulation. The 500 g pack supports efficient stock control and repeated preparation cycles without committing to very large multi-kilogram containers. Consistent product naming assists correct selection during ordering and laboratory inventory management.

What is this article?
Hektoen Enteric Agar, 500g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Dinkelberg 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.
