Agar Agar – Tissue culture grade

Description

Product Overview

Agar is used extensively in plant biology as it is optionally supplemented with a nutrient and/or vitamin mixture that allows for seedling germination in Petri dishes under sterile conditions.

Agar comes from seaweed or red algae, and is not only used as a gelling agent in the tissue culture process, but also throughout other industries too. This dextrous substance has been utilized in Biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, dentistry, microbiology, and even cosmetics due to the following characteristics:
