My one that worked was from Silform Chemicals in Qld & is labelled
Agar Agar (Bacteriological). According to them it is 500-600 gel strength. It worked very well

My apologies, the Serrata book I was looking at was OLD I see in the one dated Novemberk 2013 they only supply the 1000 and a Malt extract.

Re: agar 750 or agar 1000
Hi all,
I am just about to put in a chemical order and I was wanting to purchase the agar 1000 gel as it is cheaper than agar from other companies. Does anyone know whether the problem with the 1000 gel has been sorted. Is anyone using the product bought recently? I was wanting to purchase it from Labtek,
thanks, regards Kim.

Re: agar 750 or agar 1000
This is very interesting. We have been doing the metal crystal agar-agar prac and the kids had trouble with the 750gel. So I did it with precise measurements and it worked fine. (0.5g to 40ml).Alsothe Nutrient Agar I make up in the pressure cooker and my refrigerated spare controls, even after a couple of months, are still perfect. It is miraculous. (And quite possibly a PB)! P.S. the Agar-Agar is chem supply sourced from Science Supply
