General description

GranuCult® plus Standard I Nutrient Agar is a granulated culture medium for cultivation of fastidious bacteria. It can also serve as high-grade base for the preparation of special culture media by adding blood, ascites fluid, serum or other enrichment. This culture medium contains peptone and yeast extract for providing nitrogen, vitamins, amino acids and carbon sources. Glucose is an additional carbon source. Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance and agar is the solidifying agent.

Application

Standard I Nutrient Agar can be used for the cultivation of fastidious microorganisms from food and animal feed, water and other samples. This culture medium can also be used for enumeration, isolation and enrichment of bacteria.

Features and Benefits

  • Safe and sustainable due to reduced risks associated with fine dust and toxic substance inhalation, resulting in a safer work environment
  • Excellent wettability, solubility, and free flowing properties
  • Convenient, with minimal component separation and clumping, even under warm or humid conditions
  • High batch-to- batch reproducibility
  • Prolonged shelf life of up to five years
  • High number of test strains exceeding all regulatory demands
  • Granulation technology allowing many supplements to be included, with no need to add these separately

Footnote

We offer two media types: the superior granulated GranuCult® and the cost-efficient powdered NutriSelect® culture media, depending on your needs.
The designations basic, plus, or prime are added to indicate the quality control level, from basic quality control to standard QC plus to prime for full regulatory compliance.
