Nutrient Agar Bioprepare 100ml

Nutrient Agar is used for the cultivation of bacteria and the quantitative assessment of microorganisms in the water, waste and other materials. It is composed of peptones, beef extract and agar. This relatively simple formulation provides the essential ingredients for the growth of a great number of microorganisms that are not particularly pathogenic. Peptones are the main source of organic nitrogens, especially amino acids and long-chain peptides. The beef extract provides water-soluble substances like vitamins, salts etc. NaCl regulates the osmotic balance of the nutrient medium. Agar acts as a solidifying agent. Available in a bottle of 100ml and stored at 8-25°C.
