Agar Powder – 100g

Agar Powder (100g) is a versatile laboratory material widely used in school science, particularly within biology and microbiology. Derived from natural sources, agar is commonly used as a gelling and solidifying agent, making it ideal for preparing nutrient media and supporting a range of practical investigations.

This product is supplied as a fine powder and can be easily dissolved in water when heated, forming a clear, firm gel once cooled. Agar is especially valued in educational settings as it remains solid at typical incubation temperatures, allowing pupils to safely observe and investigate biological growth processes under controlled conditions.

Supplied in a convenient 100g pack, this agar powder is suitable for repeated practical work and demonstrations. It is commonly used in conjunction with Petri dishes and nutrient solutions during teacher‑led activities.
