Product Description
Nutrient Agar Himedia
Nutrient Agar HiMedia (Code: M001) is the gold standard general-purpose, non-selective culture medium widely utilized in microbiology laboratories around the world. Manufactured by HiMedia Laboratories, this dehydrated culture medium is specifically formulated for cultivating, maintaining, and subculturing a wide spectrum of less fastidious bacteria, yeasts, and molds. It serves as an essential staple across university biotechnology departments, clinical diagnostic centers, pharmaceutical quality assurance facilities, and public health water testing laboratories throughout Bangladesh.
Maintaining reproducible nutritional profiles and gel firmness is vital when assessing microbial purity, performing standard plate counts, or conducting antimicrobial sensitivity testing. HiMedia Nutrient Agar provides balanced concentrations of peptone and HM peptone B (beef extract) as primary nitrogen, amino acid, and carbon sources, alongside yeast extract for essential vitamin B-complex cofactors. Sodium chloride maintains physiological osmotic equilibrium within the medium, while high-grade microbiological agar provides a uniform, firm gel foundation (28.0 g/L preparation). The resulting prepared plates exhibit light-yellow, transparent to slightly opalescent clarity, allowing seamless colony visualization and morphology differentiation.
Engineered for laboratory convenience and prolonged shelf-life, this dehydrated powder is packaged in durable, moisture-barrier HDPE bottles with airtight screw caps to prevent hygroscopic clumping. Victor Scientific Co. supplies authentic HiMedia culture media, laboratory reagents, and testing apparatus nationwide with batch-specific Certificates of Analysis (COA) and dependable delivery across all 64 districts of Bangladesh.

Q2
How many Petri dishes can be prepared from one 500g bottle of HiMedia Nutrient Agar?
A2
Because HiMedia Nutrient Agar requires 28.0 grams per liter of water, one 500g bottle yields approximately 17.8 liters of finished medium. At an average pour of 20 ml per 90 mm Petri dish, a single 500g bottle can prepare roughly 850 to 900 plates.
Q3
What are the autoclave instructions for preparing this media?
A3
Suspend 28.0 grams in 1,000 ml of distilled water, heat with frequent agitation to boiling to dissolve completely, and autoclave at 15 psi pressure (121°C) for 15 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool to 45°C–50°C before pouring into sterile plates.
Q4
What is the final pH of prepared HiMedia Nutrient Agar?
A4
The standardized final pH of the prepared medium is 7.4 ± 0.2 at 25°C.
Q5
Does Victor Scientific Co. deliver culture media safely outside Dhaka?
A5
Yes, Victor Scientific Co. packages all culture media bottles in protective cushioning and moisture-barrier boxing, providing prompt courier delivery to all 64 districts in Bangladesh—including Chattogram, Rajshahi, Khulna, and Sylhet—within 24 to 48 hours.
