Oxoid™ R2A Agar (500g) CM0906B is a non-selective medium used for the isolation and enumeration of heterotrophic bacteria from water, food, and environmental samples. It is particularly suited for the recovery of bacteria from low-bacterial-count samples, as it supports the growth of a wide range of bacteria, including those that require low-nutrient conditions.

Key Features:

• Form: Dehydrated powder
• Weight: 500g
• Application: Isolation and enumeration of heterotrophic bacteria, particularly in water and low-nutrient environments
• Composition: Contains a balanced mixture of nutrients, including peptones and yeast extract, which support the growth of a wide range of bacteria under low-nutrient conditions
• Preparation: Suspend 22g in 1 litre of distilled water, mix thoroughly, and autoclave at 121°C for 15 minutes
• Yield: Approximately 23 litres of prepared medium
• Storage: Store the dehydrated medium at 10–30°C, protected from moisture and light
• Compliance: Suitable for use in microbiological testing protocols for the isolation and enumeration of heterotrophic bacteria from various sample
