Uses & applications
Usage notes
Preparation: Suspend 28 grams of the medium in 1 Liter of distilled water.Sterilization: Mix thoroughly and heat to boiling to dissolve completely. Sterilize by autoclaving at 121°C (15 psi) for 15 minutes.Storage: Store the dehydrated powder in a cool, dry place ($10°C$ to $30°C$). Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent clumping due to moisture.
Applications
Cultivation: General growth of bacteria like B. subtilis and E. coli.
Maintenance: Preservation of stock cultures for extended periods.
Testing: Used in the "Standard Methods" for the examination of water and dairy products.
Education: Safe and reliable for classroom demonstrations of microbial growth.
- High Clarity: Provides a clear background for easy colony identification and counting.
- Consistency: Batch-to-batch reliability ensures reproducible experimental results.
- Versatility: Can be enriched with blood or other biological fluids for specialized growth.
- Cost-Effective: Economical choice for high-volume routine testing.

Product description
Nutrient Agar remains the most widely cited medium in microbiology for a reason: simplicity. By providing a balanced source of nitrogen (via Peptone) and carbon (via Beef Extract), it creates an ideal environment for common bacterial species to thrive without the interference of selective inhibitors.
Whether you are performing routine environmental monitoring or teaching the fundamentals of the sterile technique, our Nutrient Agar provides the structural integrity and nutrient density required for distinct colony morphology. Its optimized gel strength ensures it remains firm even during incubation at $37°C$, preventing “swarming” and allowing for precise isolation.
