Description
Sorbitol MacConkey Agar is a dry culture medium formulated for microbiological applications and referenced to ISO 11133 and ISO 16654. It is used in laboratory workflows that require a selective agar base for the cultivation and differentiation of relevant microorganisms under controlled conditions. The medium is supplied as a 500 g plastic pack, giving sufficient material for preparation of multiple batches according to standard microbiological practice. Physical handling is straightforward for routine media kitchens: the powder is weighed, reconstituted and sterilised following established protocols before plating. Produced by manufacturer Carl ROTH, this Sorbitol MacConkey Agar supports quality-oriented testing environments where documented media performance and alignment with recognised ISO methods are important. Typical use cases include food, clinical-support and hygiene-related microbiology laboratories that work with selective enteric media. The 500 g unit quantity and 0,500 kg pack weight make it suitable for medium-throughput media preparation. Store and reconstitute according to laboratory procedures; the formulation is intended for professional microbiological use only.

Questions about Sorbitol MacConkey Agar, ISO 11133, ISO 16654, 500 g, plastic
What is this article?
Sorbitol MacConkey Agar, ISO 11133, ISO 16654, 500 g, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth 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.
