Agar, Peptones and Ingredients

Bacteriological agar is used as a gelling agent in the preparation of culture media for microbial growth and propagation of In vitro plant tissue culture cells.

The main advantage of this special type of agar is the absence of contaminants that can inhibit the optimal development of microorganisms. Moreover, it exhibits other properties such as an excellent transparency, great hysteresis and lot to lot consistency. Our agar is tested following strict controls to define its physicochemical parameters and guarantee the total absence of hemolytic and inhibitory substances. All of our lots are rigorously tested to verify biological performance with cultures of well-known bacterial strains to assure its performance in the marketplace.

We also market a complete line of peptones, extracts, infusions and other raw materials for use in culture media formulations. Peptones are hydrolyzed proteins derived from casein, meat and plants. Our products offer an effective source of nitrogen and carbon as well as other nutrients. When used in appropriate formulations, the product encourages and promotes the growth of microorganisms. The main application for peptones and related is the production of culture media, i.e. dehydrated, liquid and solid media. These products are also used in production media for fermentation, tissue culture media and vaccine stabilizers. Other non-media applications include cosmetics, in electroplating and in special dietary products. These products are derived from plant and animal proteins. We provide all animal products documented with full traceability.
