Agar, Technical is a solidifying agent for use in preparing microbiological culture media in a laboratory setting. Agar, Technical is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions in humans. Conforms to US Pharmacopeia (USP). Agar is a phycocolloid extracted from a group of red-purple algae, usually Gelidium spp. Agar was first suggested for microbiological purposes in 1881 by Fannie Hesse. By the early 1900’s, agar became the gelling agent of choice over gelatin because agar remains firm at growth temperatures for many pathogens and agar is generally resistant to a breakdown by bacterial enzymes. The use of agar in microbiological media significantly contributed to the advance of microbiology, paving the way to study pure cultures. Agar is a gel at room temperature, remaining firm at temperatures as high as 65°C. Agar melts at approximately 85 - 91°C, a different temperature from solidification at 34 - 36°C.
