What Stands Out
High Yield
Generates over 1498 to 1666 standard agar Petri dishes per bottle, ensuring extensive usage for laboratory applications and reducing the need for frequent repurchase.
Optimal Gel Strength
Achieves gel strength of 800-1100 g/m2 at 20℃, providing stability and reliability for various microbiological applications, ensuring consistent results in lab research.
Quality Assurance
Lab-grade formulation guarantees purity and performance, making it ideal for academic and professional research needs, catering to scientists and researchers who demand excellence.
Product Details
- Main Material: The agar is made from wild gelidium. Through scientific, precise and mature processing techniques, along with proper equipment and advanced testing instruments, we strive to provide quality products to users
- Feature: The agar has advantages such as low gelling temperature, high transparency, no precipitation, low melting temperature, ease of operation, and stable performance
- Economical and Practical: Enough agar to pour 1498 to 1666 petri dishes(If 20ml pour a flat). This offers good value: instead of spending more on pre-poured agar plates, you can pour exactly as many as you need yourself, at a lower cost
- Widely Used: The agar can be used in biological culture media, immobilized enzyme carriers, and carriers for some biochemical substances. It can also be used as a thickener, gelling agent, suspending agent, emulsifier, stabilizer
- Excellent Customer Service: We are dedicated in providing the best products and services to customers. If you have any problem, please feel free to contact us. We will help you solve the problem as soon as possible

Customer Questions & Answers
-
Question:
What is Lab-Grade Agar Powder used for?
Answer: Lab-Grade Agar Powder is primarily used in microbiology and mycology to create solid culture media. This allows researchers to cultivate yeast, molds, and bacteria efficiently. The high gel strength (800-1100 g/m2) ensures that the agar holds its structure, providing a stable environment for microorganism growth. For instance, in laboratory settings, effective culture media is critical for isolating and identifying microbial strains in research projects. -
Question:
How many Petri dishes can I make with one bottle of this agar powder?
Answer: One bottle of Lab-Grade Agar Powder can produce between 1498 to 1666 standard-sized Petri dishes. This significant yield makes it an economical choice for labs and research institutions. To maximize the use of this agar powder, you could prepare it in batches according to your experimental needs, ensuring consistent quality across all cultures. -
Question:
What is the ideal gel strength for agar in laboratory research?
Answer: The ideal gel strength for agar, particularly in biochemical and microbiological applications, is typically between 800 to 1100 g/m2. This range ensures that the agar remains stable during incubation while providing suitable support for microbial growth. High gel strength is especially important when dealing with heavier inoculations or when the culture will be incubated for extended periods. -
Question:
Can this agar powder be used for home mycology projects?
Answer: Yes, Lab-Grade Agar Powder is suitable for home mycology projects as well as professional lab settings. If you're an enthusiast looking to grow mushrooms or study fungal varieties, this agar provides the quality needed for successful cultures. Just ensure that you maintain sterile conditions throughout the preparation and inoculation process to prevent contamination. -
Question:
What temperature should I use when preparing agar with this powder?
Answer: To prepare agar, you should typically boil it in water until it dissolves completely, and then allow it to cool to about 45-50°C before pouring it into Petri dishes. This temperature range ensures that the agar remains liquid for pouring without compromising its gel strength once it solidifies. Always work under sterile conditions to prevent contamination of your media. -
Question:
Is this agar powder suitable for vegan research?
Answer: Absolutely, Lab-Grade Agar Powder is derived from red algae and is a plant-based gelatin alternative, making it suitable for vegan research applications. This is especially important in ecological and environmental studies where you might want to avoid animal-derived products. It provides a solid medium for plant-based and microbial studies while aligning with vegan principles. -
Question:
How long does prepared agar last?
Answer: Prepared agar can typically last for about 2-4 weeks when stored properly in refrigeration. To maximize its shelf life, ensure the poured Petri dishes are sealed with parafilm or stored in airtight containers. Using prepared agar as soon as possible is recommended to prevent microbial contamination and ensure optimal growth conditions. -
Question:
Can I mix this agar with other additives?
Answer: Yes, Lab-Grade Agar Powder can be mixed with other additives such as nutrients or antibiotics to customize media for specific microbiological needs. For example, adding specific nutrients can support the growth of certain microbial strains, or including antibiotics can help isolate specific types of bacteria. Just ensure that the agar maintains its gel strength and integrity during this process. -
Question:
Where can I buy Lab-Grade Agar Powder in Ethiopia?
Answer: You can purchase Lab-Grade Agar Powder conveniently from Ubuy in Ethiopia. Ubuy provides an extensive range of high-quality laboratory supplies, ensuring that you can find the exact product you need for your mycology and lab research projects. -
Question:
What are the storage recommendations for agar powder?
Answer: To preserve the quality of your Lab-Grade Agar Powder, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keeping it in its sealed container until use will help maintain its efficacy. For longer shelf life, some prefer refrigeration, but ensure it is brought back to room temperature before use to ensure optimal dissolving when preparing agar.
