Agar Agar is widely used as a solidifying agent for preparation of culture media.An agar plate or Petri dish is used to provide a growth medium using a mix of agar and other nutrients in which microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi, can be cultured and observed under the microscope. Since it is indigestible for many organisms, that microbial growth does not affect the gel used and it remains stable. Agar is often dispensed using a sterile media dispenser.
Applications
Culture MediaBecause of its high gellifying power and vegetable origin, Agar Agar constitutes a natural non- toxic matrix for the formation of culture media . It is used as a culture media for practically all pathogenic and nonpathogenic bacteria and fungi because it is not easy to metabolise and has good gel firmness, elasticity, clarity and stability.
Plant Tissue CultureAnother major application of Agar Agar is in the field of plant tissue culture. Tissue culture is emerging as the standard method for the propagation of orchids and other ornamental plants, vegetables, fruits and other agricultural products and this has increased the demand for Agar Agar.
DentistryIn prosthetic dentistry, Agar Agar is used in the preparation of dental casts. It is an elastic impression material and it can be reused for making multiple impressions.
Air Freshener gelAgar Agar is being used in gel form in Air Fresheners. It will have a gel texture with the essential oils infused within it.
Packaging5, 10, 20, 25 kg export worthy cartons, 25 kg fibre drum and &250 and 500 gm polycontainers for retail.

Marine Hydrocolloids is dedicated to exploring various agar derivatives for various purposes. Our Pharma grade Agar Agar products are widely used for its ability to add viscous consistency to the formulation suspension of various medicines.
The pharma grade agar agar is specifically derived to be used as a laxative and other pharma applications such as for preparing emulsions, suspensions, capsules and surgical suppositories.The chemical composition of our pharma-grade agar product makes it an ideal suspending agent for Barium Sulphate Radiology.
Agar Agaris used in the Pharmaceutical industry for many applications such as suspending agent for Barium Sulphate Radiology, intestine regulation, surgical lubricants and in preparations of emulsions, suspensions, capsules, etc. The main role of Agar Agar in the pharmaceutical industry is as an excipient. It is an inactive substance that is used as an effective carrier of the active ingredient enabling it to reach its target area successfully. Agar Agaris also widely used in making tablets and capsules.Agar Agar is also useful as a laxative. When hydrated, it provides a smooth, non-irritant bulk in the digestive tract. It is also used in preparation of emulsions, suspensions, capsules and suppositories in surgical lubricants and as a suspending agent for Barium sulphate radiology.

Agar Agar Plant Tissue Culture Grade is used as a gelling agent in the growth and in-vitro propagation of plant tissue. The extraction of seaweed is processed with an exclusive methodology that allows the elimination of any residual of Acid, Salts, Bleaching agent, Pathogenic agents normally used for the production of Agar Agar. It does not react with sulphates or nitrogenous compounds therefore providing a stable long lasting support of nutrients in aseptic environment.
The Agar media’s purity and transparency permits a clear and immediate identification of fungi, bacteria or moulds formations. The high gel strength (above 900 g/cm2) permits high productivity ratios with low dosages from 5 to 7 grams per liter. Its low syneresis minimizes the risk of excessive water absorption by the plantlets supports to the gradual release of the gelatinized water content.
We offer both regular and supreme plant tissue culture grade agar agar and are currently supplying to all the major Commercial Plant Tissue culture labs in India and abroad.
Properties:
APPLICATIONS :Plant Tissue Culture of Ornamental plants, Orchids, Banana, Vegetables, Fruits, Flowers etc.
