Description
VRB agar is a laboratory culture medium supplied in a 5 kg pack for professional microbiological media preparation. This bulk quantity supports routine work in research, teaching, and quality-control laboratories that need a dependable stock of VRB agar for solid culture applications. The large pack format is practical for central media kitchens and high-throughput units that prepare plates or tubes in volume and prefer fewer replenishment cycles. Handled as a standard laboratory material, the medium integrates into established preparation workflows once reconstituted and sterilised according to each laboratory’s validated methods. Offered by manufacturer Dinkelberg, the product sits within everyday culture-medium ranges used across institutional and industrial labs. Country of origin is Hungary, which supports internal sourcing and documentation needs. Clear bulk presentation aids organised storage in the media-preparation area and simplifies inventory control. Laboratories can align the item with existing purchasing and catalogue structures for culture media while applying their own SOPs for weighing, dissolution, and pouring. The 5 kg unit is intended for professional environments that value consistent availability of VRB agar for ongoing microbial work.
This article is part of Dehydrated culture media (agar & broth bases), in Culture media & microbiology. See also Petri dishes.

Questions about Violet Red Bile Lactose Agar, 5 kg
What is this article?
Violet Red Bile Lactose Agar, 5 kg 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.
