Product Description
Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) plates are a staple in microbiology labs, but when combined with β-Lactamase II, they become a powerful tool for studying antibiotic resistance. These pre-poured plates from Himedia (MP5202-20PT) are designed for researchers, students, and educators who need reliable results in bacterial culture and resistance testing.
The addition of β-Lactamase II makes these plates particularly useful for detecting β-lactam-resistant bacteria, such as penicillin-resistant strains. Whether you’re conducting research on antibiotic susceptibility or teaching microbial culture techniques, these plates provide a consistent and ready-to-use medium.
Each pack contains 20 sterile plates, ensuring you have enough for multiple experiments without the hassle of preparation. The agar is formulated to support the growth of a wide range of microorganisms while allowing clear visualization of colonies.
For labs and educational institutions, these plates offer convenience and accuracy. No autoclaving or pouring required—just open the pack and start your experiment. This makes them ideal for both routine testing and specialized research.
