Carrageenan, Kappa Type

Carrageenan, Kappa Type is a natural polysaccharide extracted from red seaweed, commonly used as a gelling, thickening, and stabilizing agent in microbiology, food, and biotechnology applications. The kappa form forms strong, rigid gels in the presence of potassium ions, providing a reliable medium for microbial growth, tissue culture, and other laboratory or industrial applications.

This type of carrageenan is valued for its high gel strength, clarity, and consistent performance. Kappa Carrageenan ensures reproducible gel formation, making it ideal for microbiological media, analytical assays, and formulations that require predictable and stable gelling properties.
