Agar sterilizer / Media Sterilizer

Media sterilizers are a specialized piece of microbiology lab equipment used to sterilize agar or other culture media by exposing the media to heat and oftentimes pressure to sufficiently kill any microorganisms that may be present in the media. Sterilization is an essential step in agar preparation for microbiological research to eliminate any contamination and provide a sterile environment to grow bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. Media and agar sterilizers are available with a multitude of capacities, high throughput laboratories should consider a model with a large capacity to have the ability to process large volumes of culture media in a single batch. Also, ensure that the sterilizer has precision temperature control and stability to ensure complete sterilization during media preparation. Sterilization time and efficiency should also be considered when comparing models to ensure adequate throughput to keep up with your analysis needs.
