DG-18 Agar (Dichloran-Glycerol), 15x100mm Plate
Hardy Diagnostics DG-18 Agar (Dichloran-Glycerol Agar) is a selective and differential medium formulated for the enumeration and isolation of xerophilic yeasts and molds from dried, semi-dried, and low-water-activity foods such as grains, nuts, dried fruits, and spices.
The inclusion of dichloran limits colony size and spreading, allowing for accurate enumeration, while glycerol reduces water activity, promoting the growth of xerophilic fungi. This medium is widely used in food safety testing, environmental quality control, and cannabis QA applications where precise mold recovery is essential.
Features and Benefits:
• Formulated per Hocking and Pitt for reliable recovery of xerophilic molds
• Dichloran limits colony spread for accurate counting
• Glycerol adjusts water activity for selective xerophilic growth
• Deep-fill plates maintain moisture balance for extended incubation
• Clear, heavy-duty 100 mm plates provide distortion-free visualization
• Breathable packaging prevents condensation buildup
• Ideal for routine mold enumeration in food and environmental labs
