Description
PharmaBio® R2A Agar is a low-nutrient microbiological culture medium provided in a 500 g pack for laboratory preparation of plates and related formats. R2A agar is traditionally chosen for the recovery and enumeration of heterotrophic bacteria from water and other low-nutrient samples, making this PharmaBio® grade relevant to environmental monitoring, pharmaceutical water systems and general quality-control laboratories. The 500 g quantity supports multiple preparation cycles while remaining practical for bench-scale media kitchens. Available from manufacturer Dinkelberg and originating from Hungary, the medium is intended for reconstitution and sterilisation following the laboratory’s validated procedures. Consistent product naming and pack identification aid purchasing, goods receipt and inventory management. Within the UNSPSC culture-media group, PharmaBio® R2A Agar sits alongside other specialised agar bases used in life-science and industrial microbiology. Specify this 500 g unit when R2A agar is required for routine plating without committing to bulk multi-kilogram stock.
This article is part of Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), in Culture media & microbiology. See also Petri dishes.

Questions about PharmaBio® R2A Agar, 500g
What is this article?
PharmaBio® R2A 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.
