FAQs

What is nutrient agar?

Nutrient agar is a general-purpose microbiological culture medium supplied as a dehydrated powder. When prepared with water, it provides essential nutrients to support the growth of a wide range of non-fastidious bacteria and some fungi in routine laboratory and educational microbiology applications.

What organisms can be grown on nutrient agar?

Nutrient agar supports the growth of many non-fastidious bacteria and some fungi commonly used in teaching labs and routine microbiology. It is not intended for the selective or enriched growth of fastidious organisms that require specialized nutrients or growth conditions.

Is this nutrient agar ready to use out of the container?

No. This product is supplied as a dehydrated powder and must be prepared by dissolving the appropriate amount in water, followed by heating and sterilization, typically via autoclaving, before being poured into plates or tubes for microbiological use.

What are common uses for nutrient agar in laboratories?

Common uses include routine bacterial culture, colony observation, microbiology demonstrations, quality control testing, and instructional laboratory exercises. It serves as a foundational medium for basic microbiological techniques rather than specialized diagnostic or selective applications.

Is this product suitable for educational use?

Yes. Nutrient agar is widely used in educational settings due to its versatility, reliability, and ease of preparation. The 500 g size supports repeated classroom or teaching laboratory use, making it suitable for demonstrations, student experiments, and microbiology training environments.
