Description

Nutrient Agar is a non selective media for general use in the laboratory, indicated for the cultivation of non particular microorganisms; it is formulated according to ISO 6579, ISO 8523 and ISO 10273.

It can be used as a base for the preparation of selective mediums or for enrichment with the addition of different ingredients. Nutrient Agar can be used in sanitary and industrial bacteriology or utilised for the multiplication of microorganisms in the production of vaccines and antigens in general. Colonies can be transplanted from selective media to be submitted for identification by biochemical or serological tests. They are also recommended by APHA when bacteriologically examining water and meat/dairy food products.

Nutrient Agar can be also used for maintaining bacteria stock; in this case, the stock is seminated into a test-tube onto the medium that is solidified on sloped.
