BACTERIOLOGICAL AGAR
HS (HIGH STRENGTH)
Description
- Agar is a natural hydrocolloid extracted from several species of red algae, mainly the Gelidium,
Gracilaria and Pterocladia types.
- High Strength Bacteriological Agar is a gelling agent specially
designed for the preparation of culture media and other bacteriological applications, in which it is
necessary to reduce the agar content maintaining the desired gelling properties.
- The main advantage
of this agar is the high gel strength (typical 1,000 g/cm2
)
- As other Conda’s Bacteriological Agar types, it has absence of inhibitors, excellent transparency, high
hysteresis and reliable reproducibility.
- It can be used for preparing media such as Thioglycollate fluid
