General description

R3A medium is a suitable subculture medium for organisms that either fail to grow on poorly nutritive R2A Agar or that are suppressed by other microorganisms on highly nutritive media (such as Tryptic Soy Agar or Plate Count Agar). Upon establishing the growth of microorganisms on R2A as a primary media, the higher nutritive R3A yields colonies, which are more suitable for biochemical identification.

Application

R3A Agar is used to subculture microorganisms found in pharmaceutical or potable water as well as for the primary isolation of aquatic microorganisms.

Storage Class Code

11 - Combustible Solids
