Biochemical Agar
1. Product description
Magarose® biochemical agar is modified from dragon beard vegetable as raw material, which has the advantages of high gel transparency, low melt temperature, low gel temperature, low turbidity, no phosphate precipitation, etc., and is more suitable for microbial growth, observation and counting, and is the best choice for high-end microbial culture coagulants, and is used in the preparation of various dry powder culture medium and disposable plate medium.
