R2A Agar 200ml Pk 20

SGL R2A Agar is a ready-to-use culture medium supplied in 200ml bottles for the recovery and enumeration of stressed, slow-growing and chlorine-injured bacteria. Commonly used in potable water testing, purified water monitoring, environmental monitoring and pharmaceutical water systems, the low nutrient formulation encourages the growth of microorganisms that may be missed on richer culture media. This makes R2A Agar particularly useful for monitoring microbial contamination in treated water and water distribution systems where organisms may be present in low numbers or under stressed conditions. The ready-prepared format removes the need for media preparation and sterilisation, helping laboratories save valuable time whilst maintaining consistent testing procedures.
