Dehydrated Culture Media
Dehydrated culture media are supplied as powdered formulations that are prepared, hydrated and sterilised before laboratory use.
The available portfolio includes media developed for different microorganisms, analytical methods and laboratory applications.
Depending on the selected reference, available formats may include:
- Bottles of dehydrated culture medium
- Pre-weighed sachets
- Different packaging quantities
- Agar-based solid media
- Broths and liquid media
- Selective and differential media
- General-purpose culture media
Scharlab offers culture media for a wide range of applications and methods, with product-specific references available in different presentations.
Prepared and Ready-to-Use Culture Media
Prepared culture media can simplify laboratory workflows by reducing the need for internal preparation, hydration and sterilisation.
Depending on the product, available formats may include:
- Prepared Petri plates
- Contact plates
- Tubes
- Bottles
- Prepared liquid media
- Ready-to-use agar media
- Pre-dosed laboratory formats
For example, selected Scharlab culture media are offered both as dehydrated powder and in prepared plate or tube formats. Availability depends on the individual product reference.
Chromogenic Culture Media
Chromogenic media are designed to support the detection, differentiation or presumptive identification of microorganisms through characteristic visual reactions.
The Scharlab microbiology portfolio includes chromogenic product groups such as:
- CHROMagar™ media
- Compact Dry® products
- MICROINSTANT® chromogenic media
- Chromogenic media for selected microorganisms
- Ready-to-use chromogenic formats
The appropriate medium depends on the target microorganism, sample type, method and applicable laboratory protocol. Scharlab lists several chromogenic product families within its official microbiology portfolio.
Culture Media Supplements and Additives
Some culture media require additional components that cannot be exposed to normal high-temperature sterilisation.
These supplements may be added after the base medium has been sterilised and cooled. Depending on the formulation, they may support or inhibit the growth of selected microorganisms.
Available product groups may include:
- Freeze-dried supplements
- Selective supplements
- Enrichment products
- Growth-promoting components
- Inhibitory components
- Culture media additives
The required supplement should be selected according to the corresponding base medium and laboratory method.
Culture Media Ingredients
Weltnexx can also assist customers looking for individual ingredients used in the preparation or modification of microbiological culture media.
These products may be useful where laboratories prepare their own formulations or require media adapted to a specific research or analytical method.
The portfolio may include products such as:
- Peptones
- Tryptose
- Meat extracts
- Casein hydrolysates
- Agar and solidifying ingredients
- Nutritional components
- Chemical reagents used in culture media
- Ingredients for specialised formulations
Scharlab supplies ingredients in several packaging formats, depending on the selected reference, including laboratory and larger-volume presentations.
MiStraCon® Microbial Strains
MiStraCon® strains can be used for culture media quality control, growth-promotion testing, verification, validation and other laboratory quality-control applications.
The portfolio includes different formats such as:
- MiStraCon® Swabs2
- MiStraCon® QuantyPellets
- MiStraCon® QuantyE-Pellets
- Quantified strains
- Non-quantified strains
- Lyophilised microbial preparations
The appropriate strain and format depend on the laboratory method, microorganism, required concentration and intended quality-control application.
Scharlab states that MiStraCon® products are supplied with instructions for use and certificates supporting authenticity and traceability.

The Scharlab microbiology portfolio also includes products used in biochemical testing, confirmation procedures and general microbiological analysis.
Depending on the selected method, these may include:
- Biochemical test reagents
- Identification reagents
- Dyes and stains
- Confirmation products
