Description
Sabouraud 4 % Glucose Agar (with chloramphenicol) is a dehydrated nutrient medium for microbiology, intended for the cultivation and examination of yeasts and moulds. The formulation is aligned with ISO 11133 and ISO 16212 and includes chloramphenicol to limit bacterial growth while supporting fungal recovery in selective culture workflows. Supplied as a 500 g plastic pack from manufacturer Carl ROTH, the powder is reconstituted according to standard media-preparation practice for plates or tubes used in environmental analysis and routine microbiological testing. The 4 % glucose base provides a carbohydrate-rich matrix suited to many fungi, and the selective antibiotic component helps improve specificity when samples contain mixed flora. Laboratories employ this medium in quality-control, environmental-monitoring, and industrial hygiene programmes that require dehydrated nutrient media prepared to recognised international methods. It fits established workflows for fungal enumeration and isolation without extending beyond the stated composition and standard references.
This article belongs on Antibiotics & antimycotics, in Biochemicals & reagents.

Questions about Sabouraud 4 % Glucose Agar (with chlor-, amphenicol), ISO 11133, 500 g, plastic
What is this article?
Sabouraud 4 % Glucose Agar (with chlor-, amphenicol), ISO 11133, 500 g, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Antibiotics & antimycotics, inside Biochemicals & reagents, in Microbiologie.
An antibiotic or an antimycotic for laboratory use is specified by potency, often micrograms per milligram, and by the spectrum it is used for in media. A hydrate and a free base differ in mass. Sterile solutions ready for culture and the dry powder are different articles. This is not a medicine for a patient.
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.
