Our Products
Agar Agar as a culture media is widely used for practically all pathogenic and nonpathogenic bacteria and fungi because it is not easy to metabolise and has a good gel firmness, elasticity, clarity and stability. Because of its high gellifying power and its vegetable origin, Agar Agar constitutes a natural non-toxic matrix for the formation of culture media in Microbiology.
Applications :
Culture Media (Microbilogy) :Agar Agar as a culture media widely used for practically all pathogenic and nonpathogenic bacteria and fungi because it is not easy to metabolise and has a good gel firmness, elasticity, clarity and stability. Because of its high gellifying power and its vegetable origin, Agar Agar constitutes a natural non- toxic matrix for the formation of culture media in Microbiology.
Biotechnology (Plant Tissue Culture) :The major application of Agar Agar is in th field of plant tissue culture. The growing interest in tissue culture as a standatrd method for the propagation of orchids and other ornamental plants, vegetables , fruits and other agricultural products has increased the demand for Agar Agar

A Molecular Biology Reagent Agarose is a polyacrylamide obtained from agar agar that is used for a variety of life science applications especially in gel electroscopes. Agarose forms an inert matrix utilized in separation techniques. Many structures easily affix to agarose including various types of proteins. Our Agarose is ultra pure grade and is recommended for analytical and preparative electrophoresis. Also recommended for DNA, RNA Recoveries, Nucleic Acid Electrophoresis, Protein Electrophoresis, etc.

The Specification properties are tested for each lot. These specifications alone may not be sufficient for judging the suitability for particular application. The best way to find out the suitability is to test with sample.
Agar Agar is 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.
ApplicationsDentistryIn prosthetic dentistry, Agar Agar is used in the preparation of dental casts.
