Description
Purple Lactose Agar Base, Modified is a dehydrated agar-base preparation for laboratory culture-media work involving lactose-containing solid media. The modified purple lactose agar base designation identifies a classic differential medium foundation used when laboratories prepare plates or slopes that incorporate lactose and a pH indicator system of the purple type. Supplied in a 5000 g pack, the product suits bulk media production in microbiology suites, quality-control laboratories, and teaching facilities that prepare larger volumes of solid media. Users reconstitute and complete the medium according to their validated recipes and autoclave procedures, retaining full control over final formulation and pouring. This agar base comes from manufacturer Dinkelberg and is classified among laboratory culture-media materials, with origin in Hungary. The generous pack quantity supports continuous media-kitchen schedules and helps limit order cycles for high-throughput environments. As a modified purple lactose agar base, it provides the foundational solids and nutrient matrix associated with this medium family. Handle the powder with standard precautions for dehydrated culture media and follow laboratory SOPs for weighing, dissolution, sterilisation, and plate preparation.

Questions about Purple Lactose Agar Base, Modified, 5000g
What is this article?
Purple Lactose Agar Base, Modified, 5000g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Dinkelberg for laboratory use. It sits in Carbohydrates & sugars, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Life Science & Microbiology.
A carbohydrate reagent is a sugar or a derivative, specified by identity, anomer where it matters, and purity. Hydrate and anhydrous forms change the mass. A culture-grade sugar and an analytical standard of the same name are different bottles.
A biochemical is a molecule of life, sold as a reagent: an amino acid, a sugar, a nucleotide, a lipid, an enzyme, an antibiotic. The difference from a bulk chemical is that the use is a biological one, and the impurities that matter are the ones that change that use. An enzyme is specified by activity, not only by mass. An antibiotic is specified by potency. Papers are on PubMed. Structures are on PubChem. Strains and lines that consume these reagents are at ATCC.
