R2A Agar, 20mL Mono Plates, 100x15mm, 10/Pk

R2A Agar (Reasoner's 2A Agar) is a low-nutrient growth medium designed specifically for the cultivation and enumeration of heterotrophic bacteria in treated water, including potable water, bottled water, and pharmaceutical-grade purified water. Its reduced nutrient profile allows for the recovery of stressed or slow-growing organisms that may not thrive on nutrient-rich media.

The mono packaging minimizes contamination risk and supports environmental monitoring programs in GMP, ISO, and USP-compliant facilities. R2A is commonly used in water quality testing and cleanroom environmental sampling by pharmaceutical manufacturers, hospitals, and biotech labs.

• 20mL fill for consistent sample spread and incubation
• 100 x 15mm Petri dish for standard lab workflows
• Mono-wrapped for sterility and contamination control
• Suitable for long incubation times (up to 7 days)
• Ideal for recovering chlorine-stressed or slow-growing waterborne bacteria
