Agar Bacteriological (Agar No.1) 500g, Oxoid

Brand:

Thermo ScientificTM OxoidTM

Agar Bacteriological (Agar No. 1, Oxoid) is a clear purified high gel strength bacteriological agar compatible with all culture media. This agar has low calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) levels and has very high working gel strength (1.5% w/v).

Agar Bacteriological, Oxoid is compatible with all culture media. It can be formulated to either broth or agar of the same medium with very similar metal values. This characteristic is especially valuable in antimicrobial MIC studies where differences in mineral/metal content can profoundly influence the results. Due to the low mineral/metal content in Agar Bacteriological, Oxoid, it allows free diffusion of antimicrobial substances. As a result, it is a highly satisfactory agar for antimicrobial diffusion studies (disc diffusion susceptibility tests).

Preparation of Potato Dextrose Agar, Oxoid
Suspend 39g in 1 litre of purified water and heat up to dissolve completely. Sterilise by autoclaving at 121°C for 15 minutes. Ensure the solution is well mixed before pouring.

To suppress the growth of bacteria, you can acidify the medium to pH 3.5 by adding 1 ml of lactic acid 10% SR0021 to each sterilized medium at 50°C. Note that the medium must not be heated after the addition of acid as it will destroy the gelling properties and results in hydrolysis of agar.

Storage Conditions and Shelf Life
Store the dehydrated medium at 10-30°C and use before the expiry date on the label.
Store the prepared medium at 2-8°C.
