Agar Agar (National)

The Agar Agar (National) is a polysaccharide extracted from marine algae and used as a gelling agent in laboratory routines, especially for the preparation of microbiological culture media, quality-control assays and microbial growth procedures. It forms stable gels even at relatively high temperatures, ensuring consistent solidification of nutrient media and culture plates. Supplied as a powder, it allows precise preparation of customized formulations for microbiology, analytical workflows or applications requiring controlled viscosity.

Characteristics:

• Marine-derived polysaccharide with strong gelling capacity;

• Suitable for microbiological culture media preparation;
