Product Description
Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) plates are a staple in microbiology labs, but when combined with a β-lactamase mixture, they become a powerful tool for studying antibiotic resistance. These pre-poured plates from Himedia (MP5203-20PT) are designed for researchers, students, and educators who need reliable results in fungal and bacterial culture experiments.
The addition of β-lactamase enzymes helps neutralize β-lactam antibiotics, making these plates ideal for isolating and identifying antibiotic-resistant strains. Whether you’re working on a research project or teaching a lab class, these plates ensure consistent performance with minimal preparation time.
Each pack contains 20 sterile, ready-to-use plates, eliminating the need for autoclaving or media preparation. The formulation supports robust microbial growth while maintaining clarity for easy colony observation. Perfect for academic labs, pharmaceutical research, and environmental testing.
