Alkali Scientific R2A Agar, 1 Kg

Supplier: Alkali Scientific RAA001CP
R2A Agar (Low Nutrient Media) is a specialized microbiological growth medium used for the recovery and enumeration of heterotrophic bacteria, particularly from treated potable water and pharmaceutical process water. Its low-nutrient composition prevents the rapid overgrowth of bacteria, allowing slow-growing or stressed microorganisms to recover. The 1 kg package provides sufficient volume for large-scale studies, enabling the cultivation of slow-growing or oligotrophic organisms. The agar is used in routine water quality testing, environmental monitoring, and heterotrophic plate count (HPC) procedures to detect and enumerate bacteria in water samples.
