NEOGEN Agar, Bacteriological No. 2, 10 kg
Supplier: NEOGEN 700003491
Agar, Bacteriological No. 2 is a solidifying agent for use in preparing microbiological culture media in a laboratory setting. Agar, Bacteriological No. 2 is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans.Agar is a phycocolloid extracted from a group of red-purple algae, usually Gelidium spp. Agar was first suggested for microbiological purposes in 1881 by Fannie Hesse. By the early 1900’s, agar became the gelling agent of choice over gelatin because agar remains firm at growth temperature for many pathogens and agar is generally resistant to a breakdown by bacterial enzymes. The use of agar in microbiological media significantly contributed to the advance of microbiology, paving the way to study pure cultures.For more information visit https://www.neogen.com/solutions/Microbiology/agar-bacteriological-number-2
