Pseudomonas agar plates are selective culture media designed to promote the growth of Pseudomonas species and, depending on the formulation, to differentiate them by characteristic pigments or biochemical properties. They are commonly used to isolate microbes like Pseudomonas aeruginosa from mixed microbial populations.

These media are widely used in environmental microbiology, water testing, pharmaceutical quality control, food and beverage testing, and research laboratories where reliable detection and cultivation of Pseudomonas species are important. Their selective composition helps improve recovery while reducing interference from competing microorganisms.

Our Pseudomonas agar plates, including Pseudomonas isolation agar (PIA), cetrimide agar, and King’s Medium A (Pseudomonas Agar F), are supplied as sterile, ready-to-use, pre-poured plates, eliminating the need for in-house media preparation and reducing variability between experiments. Each formulation is manufactured to precise specifications to ensure consistent performance and dependable microbial recovery.

We produce our Pseudomonas agar products using validated processes and rigorous quality control standards to ensure sterility, lot-to-lot consistency, and reliable results. Teknova also supports custom agar plate formulations, including modified media compositions and alternative plate formats to meet specialized microbiology and quality assurance requirements.
