NUTRIENT AGAR PLATE (y- irradiated) (Triple Pack)

Nutrient Agar Plate is a dependable general-purpose culture medium for the routine cultivation, isolation, and maintenance of a wide variety of microorganisms. The simplicity of the formulation has made it a standard in microbiology laboratories for decades. It is appropriate for routine work as well as educational applications, as it produces steady growth of a microorganism, yet cultures can be kept viable for a longer time without the excessive overgrowth often observed on richer media. The medium is gamma irradiated in its final packaging to lower the microbial load on the agar, Petri plate, and packaging and to assist in the maintenance of a high level of product quality prior to use.
Whether used for purity checking, microbial enumeration, or maintaining laboratory cultures, this medium gives consistent and predictable results in different uses. Peptone, beef extract and yeast extract provide a source of nitrogen, carbon, vitamins and other growth factors necessary for bacterial growth while sodium chloride maintains osmotic balance. The medium can be further enriched with blood, serum, or other biological additives to allow growth of fastidious organisms when necessary.
Its versatility makes the Nutrient Agar Plate a preferred choice for quality control laboratories, research institutions, academic teaching, environmental testing, and routine microbiological analysis.
