The bacteriological agar produced by Agarmex is used for different applications in microbiology, as it is the basic ingredient in diagnostic culture media plates.

The correct growth of bacteria to be identified is a key property of bacteriological agar. For an accurate diagnosis, microorganisms must grow without being inhibited by the presence of traces of elements coming mainly from the raw material used. For that reason, Agarmex’s seaweed selection methods in controlled and identified fishing grounds is essential for assuring the absence of growth inhibitors that might lead to misdiagnosis.

Stringent controls in place during the selection, harvest, production and packaging processes enables us to attain reproducible results in all batches, verified by strict quality control methods and ensuring the proper effectiveness of the product.

Furthermore, the transparency of the gel produced by this agar and required for a correct interpretation of the microbial growth is noteworthy.

According to customers’ requirements, Agarmex offers a wide range of gel strengths, from low to high levels, and concentrations of between 1.2% and 1.6%.
