With a shelf life of 24 months when stored properly, this product is a cost-effective choice for labs that require long-term stability. eqipped ensures that you receive genuine Himedia products with proper documentation and support.
Usage Instructions
To prepare the agar, suspend 40 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 and pour into sterile Petri dishes.
Inoculate the plates with your sample and incubate at 35-37°C for 18-24 hours. Klebsiella colonies will appear as blue-green, making them easy to distinguish from other microorganisms.
Safety and Storage
Store the powder in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once prepared, the agar plates should be stored at 2-8°C and used within a reasonable time frame to maintain efficacy.
