| Dextrose | 500g | It is a chemically pure monosaccharide (D-Glucose). It is added to culture media as a source of energy for bacteria. In fermentation tests, Dextrose is usually added at a concentration of 0.5 to 1.0%. |
| Lactose | 500g | It is a fermentable disaccharide composed of glucose and galactose. It serves as fermentable carbohydrate for bacterial growth. Lactose is a chemically pure disaccharide. It is added to culture media for the determination of fermentation reactions. For fermentation tests it is usually added at a concentration of 0.5 to 1.0%. |
| Skim Milk Powder | 500g | It is a widely used microbiological culture medium ingredient, typically employed in 0.1% to 1.0% concentrations for cultivating, enumerating, and identifying bacteria (e.g., Salmonella spp., Clostridium) in dairy, food, and environmental samples. It serves as a source of casein and lactose, enabling the detection of bacterial proteolytic activity, which is indicated by clear zones around colonies on Agar. |
| Sucrose | 500g | It is a chemically pure disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose. It is added to culture media for the determination of fermentation reactions and as a source of carbohydrates for the growth of microorganisms. |

| Agar, Bacteriological | 500g | It is a gelifying agent used for the cultivation of microorganisms in a laboratory setting. Agar is a phycocolloid composed of 70% agarose and 30% agaropectin, and extracted from red-purple algae, mostly Gelidium spp. |
| Agar, High Gel | 500g | It is a gelifying agent used for the cultivation of microorganisms in a laboratory setting. Agar is a phycocolloid composed of 70% agarose and 30% agaropectin, and extracted from red-purple algae, mostly Gelidium spp. Given its high strength (900-1000 g/cm2) compared to Agar, Bacteriological (550-950 g/cm2), this agar is especially indicated for applications in which it is necessary to reduce agar content while maintaining the desired gelling properties. |
| Agar, Purified | 500g | It is a gelifying agent used for the cultivation of microorganisms in a laboratory setting. Agar is a phycocolloid composed of 70% agarose and 30% agaropectin, and extracted from red-purple algae, mostly Gelidium spp. Agar, Purified is an exceptionally bright and clear agar especially indicated for electrophoresis studies and bacteriological cultures requiring high purity. |
| Agarose Type D-1 LE Low Electroendosmosis (EEO) | 500g | It is specifically prepared for the use in electrophoretic studies to analyze DNA fragments from PCR products and digestion by restriction endonucleases, among others. Obtained from seaweeds, mostly Gelidium spp, agarose is a polymer composed of several agarobiose units that aggregate into a network with varying pore sizes. This property is used to separate nucleic acid fragments based on their lengths. Agarose is a gel at room temperature and remains firm at temperatures up to 65 ºC. In order to gelify, agarose must be dissolved, heated to its melting temperature (85-91ºC) and cooled down to 34-37ºC |

| Bile Salts # 3 | 500g | It is a refined bile salt composed mainly of Sodium Cholate and Sodium Deoxycholate. It is used in culture media as an agent to isolate enteric organisms and coliforms, given its excellent inhibiting capacity of Gram-positive bacteria such as Streptococci and Staphylococci. |
| Oxbile | 500g | It is a dehydrated fresh bile used to differentiate bile-tolerant microorganisms. A 10% solution is equivalent to a fresh bile solution |
| Sodium Chloride USP | 500g | It is a high-purity grade salt produced in vacuum pans from chemically purified brine. It provides essential electrolytes for the growth of microorganisms and maintains the osmotic equilibrium of culture media. |
