    Product Overview

    High-purity bacteriological agar for microbiology culture media.

    Detailed Description

    Bacteriological Grade Agar supplier in Oman - Global Chemicals LLC provides high-quality agar for microbiology laboratories and research facilities in Muscat, Sohar, Duqm, Salalah. Our bacteriological agar is purified from red seaweeds and meets specifications for microbial culture. The gelling agent solidifies at ~40°C and melts at ~85°C, ideal for preparing petri dishes and slants. Low in salts and nitrogen to minimize interference with bacterial growth. Widely used in university microbiology labs, hospital laboratories, pharmaceutical QC, food testing facilities, and research institutions across Oman. Essential for preparing LB agar, nutrient agar, and specialized growth media. Bacteriological agar (purified agar powder, 1.0–1.5% gel-forming concentration, low endogenous inhibitor content) is the essential solidifying agent for microbiological culture media in Oman's hospital diagnostic labs, food safety testing laboratories, water quality monitoring labs, and university microbiology departments. Applications include preparation of nutrient agar, blood agar, MacConkey agar, TCBS agar (for Vibrio detection in seafood — critical for Oman's seafood processing industry), and selective/differential media for pathogen isolation. Global Chemicals LLC supplies bacteriological grade agar in 100g, 500g, and 1kg containers with gel strength specification (≥700 g/cm²), endotoxin testing, and microbiological purity CoA. SDS provided. Serving hospital labs, food testing labs, and academic institutions across Oman.
