Fluka and Supelco

Soil/Agriculture/Environmental Media

In the field of environmental microbiology most cultures have to be isolated and enriched from their natural habitats. With this in mind, Fluka supplies a range of media and additives necessary for specialized media. For the detection and enumeration of microorganisms in complex natural systems such as soil, we offer a range of fluorescent dyes.
