Product information

Overview

Scharlau R2A Agar is intended for the enumeration of heterotrophic microorganisms in treated water. This defined sample context distinguishes it from general-purpose agars selected for other laboratory applications. The manufacturer relates the medium to the Pharmacopoeial Harmonised Method and lists EP, HP, ISO and SMWW among its source references, without identifying a specific ISO number on the cached page. Choose R2A when the applicable water-testing procedure specifies this medium and evaluate counts using that procedure. The selected reference 01-540-500 is dehydrated agar for laboratory preparation; desiccant or closure details shown for separate prepared presentations are not specifications of this article. The selected article is supplied as 500 g of dehydrated medium in a vacuum-wrapped flask. Prepare it and perform incubation, reading and quality-control checks according to the applicable laboratory procedure and manufacturer instructions.
