Modified WLN Agar (Oxoid) 300ml Each

Description:

Modified WLN Agar is a ready-to-use microbiological growth medium in a bottle. Think of it as a nutrient-rich jelly that helps scientists grow and study tiny organisms like yeasts and bacteria. It’s based on the Wallerstein Laboratory Nutrient formula, which was originally designed for brewing and fermentation industries.

When a sample (like beer, wine, or food) is placed on this agar, any microorganisms present will grow into visible colonies. This makes it easier to identify, count, and monitor them.

Benefits

• Accurate and reliable testing: It provides a controlled environment for microorganisms to grow, so results are consistent.
• Ready-to-use: Comes pre-prepared in 300ml bottles, saving time compared to making agar from scratch.
• Versatile: Works for both yeasts and bacteria, which are common in brewing, food production, and quality control.
• Selective options: Can be modified with additives (like cycloheximide) to suppress yeast growth and focus on bacteria if needed.

Applications

• Brewing and fermentation: Used to check the microbial health of beer, wine, and spirits during production.
• Food safety: Helps detect contamination in food products.
• Industrial quality control: Ensures cleanliness and safety in manufacturing processes involving yeast or bacteria.
• Research labs: For studying microbial behavior in controlled conditions.
