Description
Legionella Agar (Base) is a dehydrated nutrient medium base for microbiology, referenced to ISO 11731 and ISO 11133 for Legionella examination workflows. It provides the agar base component used when preparing culture media for the detection and enumeration of Legionella in water and related samples under standardised laboratory conditions. The product is supplied as a 500 g plastic pack for professional preparation of plates or other solid media formats. In hygiene monitoring and microbiological analysis of water, Legionella agar bases are combined with the supplements and selective agents required by the chosen ISO 11731 procedure. The manufacturer description notes a boiling point of 105 °C for the preparation context. Laboratories should follow validated reconstitution, autoclaving or heat-treatment, and supplementation steps before inoculation. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, this base medium supports nutrient-media needs for water examination programmes. The unit quantity is 500 g with a packed weight of 0,604 kg. Apply good laboratory practice, consult the safety data sheet, and complete the medium according to ISO guidance so that finished plates meet method requirements for Legionella culture work.

Questions about Legionella Agar (Base), ISO 11731, ISO 11133, 500 g, plastic
What is this article?
Legionella Agar (Base), ISO 11731, ISO 11133, 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 Microbiology lab supplies.
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.
