Key Applications
Rogosa Agar Modified is widely used in:
- Microbiological analysis of dairy products
- Probiotic research and development
- Clinical diagnostics for Lactobacillus identification
- Food safety testing
Why This Product Stands Out
This medium is formulated with precise nutrients and inhibitors to support Lactobacillus growth while suppressing competitors. Its modified composition improves selectivity, ensuring accurate results in research and quality control.
For researchers and students, this means fewer false positives and more reliable data. The 500 gm pack is cost-effective for frequent use, and the powder form allows easy preparation in any lab setting.
Preparation and Usage
To prepare Rogosa Agar Modified, suspend 82 grams of the powder in 1 liter of distilled water. Heat to boiling to dissolve completely, then sterilize by autoclaving at 121°C for 15 minutes. Cool to 45-50°C before pouring into sterile Petri dishes.
For best results, store the prepared medium at 2-8°C and use within the recommended shelf life. Always follow standard microbiological practices to avoid contamination.
Safety and Handling
While Rogosa Agar Modified is generally safe, handle it with standard lab precautions. Wear gloves and a lab coat, and avoid inhalation of the powder. Dispose of used medium according to biohazard waste protocols.
