Product Description
Agar Powder for Microbiology & Laboratory Use in Bangladesh
Agar Powder (Bacteriological Grade) is the industry-standard solidifying agent indispensable to microbiology, molecular biology, plant tissue culture, and biotechnology laboratories worldwide. Sourced from high-grade marine red algae (Rhodophyta), purified bacteriological agar is a complex heterogeneous polysaccharide composed of agarose and agaropectin. It serves as the fundamental structural backbone for preparing solid and semi-solid culture media plates, slants, and deep tubes across university botany faculties, medical diagnostic labs, pharmaceutical R&D facilities, and industrial biotechnology units throughout Bangladesh.
Preparing reliable microbiological media requires a solidifying agent that melts cleanly at high temperatures (around 85°C–90°C) and solidifies at comfortable handling temperatures (32°C–40°C), while remaining completely inert to microbial metabolism. Bacteriological grade agar powder meets these rigorous standards by offering exceptional gel strength (typically exceeding 600–800 g/cm²), minimal ash content, and complete freedom from toxic inhibitors or interfering enzymes. Its high transparency ensures crystal-clear visual and microscopic colony examination, while its robust thermal hysteresis prevents liquefaction during standard incubator incubation cycles (up to 50°C–60°C).
Supplied as a free-flowing, homogeneous cream-to-off-white powder, it disperses smoothly in distilled water (typically prepared at 1.5% w/v or 15.0 g/L) and withstands standard autoclave sterilization cycles (121°C for 15 minutes) without losing gel integrity. Victor Scientific Co. supplies authentic bacteriological reagents, culture media components, and laboratory apparatus nationwide with batch traceability and dependable delivery across all 64 districts of Bangladesh.
✹ Key Features
High Bacteriological Purity
Refined to remove impurities, heavy metals, and soluble salts, ensuring a neutral, non-inhibitory matrix that does not interfere with microbial growth.
Exceptional Gel Strength (≥600-800 g/cm²)
Forms a firm, resilient gel surface at low concentrations (1.2% to 1.5%), resisting tearing or furrowing during loop inoculation.
High Optical Clarity
Yields transparent, distortion-free agar plates that enable effortless visual colony counting and microscopic morphology evaluation.
Ideal Thermal Hysteresis
Melts cleanly around 85°C–90°C and sets firmly at 32°C–40°C, preventing thermal shock when pouring warm media over heat-sensitive inocula.
Universal Compatibility
Compatible with nutrient broths, selective media formulations, antibiotic supplements, and plant tissue culture media formulations.
Moisture-Resistant HDPE Packaging
Packaged in a 500-gram hermetically sealed container designed to safeguard the dehydrated powder against ambient humidity and clumping.
✹ Applications
- Solidification of general-purpose, selective, and differential microbiological culture media (Nutrient Agar, MacConkey, etc.)
- Plant tissue culture media preparation (MS media and callus regeneration protocols)
- Microbial limit testing, bioburden assessment, and environmental monitoring in pharmaceutical labs
- Molecular biology techniques including phage plaque assays, yeast genetics, and cloning plate preparation
- Academic undergraduate and postgraduate laboratory practicals in general microbiology, mycology, and botany
✹ Why Choose Bacteriological Grade Agar Powder?
- Premium algal extraction guarantees consistent gel setting points and prevents premature solidification or runny plates.
- Free from natural enzymatic inhibitors, ensuring 100% nutrient bioavailability for fastidious bacteria and fungi.
- Highly soluble powder disperses smoothly into water prior to autoclaving, reducing preparation time.
- Genuine institutional procurement and dependable stock availability backed by Victor Scientific Co.
✹ Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A1
The price of Bacteriological Grade Agar Powder (500g pack) in Bangladesh typically ranges between BDT 5,500 and BDT 8,500, depending on the manufacturing brand (such as HiMedia, SRL, or Loba Chemie) and gel strength specifications. Contact Victor Scientific Co. directly for exact institutional quotes and bulk availability.
Q2
What is the standard preparation percentage for solid agar plates?
A2
Standard microbiological media typically requires 1.5% w/v agar (15.0 grams per 1,000 ml of liquid medium) to achieve a firm, workable gel surface suitable for loop streaking.
Q3
Can this bacteriological agar be used for plant tissue culture?
A3
Yes, high-purity bacteriological or purified agar grades are widely utilized by plant biotechnology researchers in Bangladesh for preparing Murashige and Skoog (MS) and other tissue culture propagation media.
Q4
What are the autoclave instructions for dissolving agar powder?
A4
Suspend the required agar powder in distilled water, heat with frequent agitation to boiling until completely dissolved (the solution should be clear), and autoclave at 15 psi (121°C) for 15 minutes. Cool to 45°C–50°C before pouring into Petri dishes.
Q5
Does Victor Scientific Co. deliver laboratory chemicals safely across Bangladesh?
A5
Yes, Victor Scientific Co. packages all chemical reagents and powder bottles in protective cushioning and moisture-barrier cartons, ensuring rapid courier delivery to all 64 districts in Bangladesh—including Chattogram, Rajshahi, Khulna, and Sylhet—within 24 to 48 hours.
