Bi-Plate Agar (Pre-Poured Petri Dish) – Nutrient & Selective Media
Dual-compartment pre-poured agar plate containing Nutrient Agar and Selective Agar for convenient side-by-side microbial comparison. Ideal for diagnostic and educational use.
product Description
The Bi-Plate Agar is a dual-sectioned Petri dish pre-filled with two different culture media, typically Nutrient Agar and a selective medium like MacConkey or Blood Agar. This setup enables side-by-side growth, identification, and comparison of microorganisms on a single plate.
It is widely used in clinical, academic, and research labs for quick differentiation of microbial colonies and efficient space-saving culturing. The clear demarcation between the two media types provides reliable, contamination-free results.
