Description
Phenol Red Agar Base is a dehydrated microbiological culture medium base supplied in a 5000 g pack for laboratory media preparation. The product designation reflects a phenol red indicator system intended for solid agar media used to differentiate microorganisms according to acid production from carbohydrates. Laboratories complete the base by adding selected sugars and any further components required by their validated protocols before sterilisation and pouring. The large 5000 g unit supports efficient batch preparation in facilities with higher daily media demand and helps reduce reorder frequency for routine workflows. This culture medium base is offered by manufacturer Dinkelberg and originates from Hungary. It sits within laboratory materials for microbial growth and differentiation and is suited to clinical, industrial quality-control, and research microbiology settings that rely on phenol red agar formulations. Consistent base composition supports reproducible media batches when prepared under controlled laboratory conditions. The bulk pack is practical for central media kitchens and larger diagnostic laboratories handling substantial volumes of differential plating media.

Questions about Phenol Red Agar Base, 5000g
What is this article?
Phenol Red Agar Base, 5000g 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.
