Microbiological Media
Microbial culture media supports the survival and growth of various bacteria types, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
Microbial culture media can be prepared in various forms. The key microbiological products include liquid (broth), solid (agar plates), or semi-solid (deep).
Prepared microbiological media pouches of products can provide the correct nutrients, environment, and selected conditions to suppose the growth and continuous study of microorganisms and can ensure you achieve accurate and reliable results.
