Buy Blood agar in Nigeria
Request a quote for blood agar in Nigeria. Enriched microbiology media for hemolysis reading—specify blood type, plates or base, and delivery city.
Blood agar is an enriched, non-selective culture medium containing defibrinated sheep or horse blood, used to grow many clinically important bacteria and to read hemolysis patterns (alpha, beta, or gamma). Nigerian hospital and diagnostic microbiology labs rely on it for primary plating of wounds, throat swabs, blood-culture subcultures, and streptococcal workups where colony morphology and hemolysis guide next steps. It is not intended to suppress Gram-negative flora the way MacConkey or EMB do; its purpose is enrichment and differentiation by hemolysis. Order Life Science lists blood agar under Microbiology as a life science product available by quote: add it to your quote list with quantities, format (prepared plates or dehydrated base), and delivery details. Specialists typically reply within 24 hours with options, nationwide delivery planning across the 36 states and FCT, and datasheets or CoA when requested. Note brand, blood species, and pack size on the form.
What to specify in your quote
State prepared plates versus dehydrated base powder, blood species (sheep or horse), percentage if your SOP requires it, and plates or packs per order. Include preferred brand or acceptable equivalents, estimated monthly use, and the receiving lab address. Ask for CoA or datasheets if your quality system needs lot documentation.
Use / procurement notes for Nigerian labs
Clinical microbiology benches across Nigerian hospitals and private labs use blood agar for routine culture and hemolysis reading before ID or AST. Align blood type and plate format with SOPs and incubator capacity. Multi-site networks should standardise one specification so training, QC, and recurring quotes stay consistent.
How to request pricing and delivery
Add blood agar to the quote tool above, enter quantity and delivery city or state, and provide institution contacts. Specialists usually reply within about 24 hours on working days with pricing and logistics. Delivery across Nigeria is confirmed on the quote based on quantity and destination—not as an online stock counter.
FAQ
Questions buyers ask first.
Straight answers for quote requests, specs, and delivery.
What is the selective purpose of blood agar?
Blood agar is enriched and largely non-selective: it supports growth of many pathogens while allowing hemolysis patterns to be read. It does not selectively inhibit Gram-negatives like MacConkey or EMB. Labs choose it when morphology and hemolysis matter for streptococci, staphylococci, and similar workups.
Should I order sheep or horse blood agar?
Follow your laboratory SOP and method validation. Many Nigerian clinical labs specify sheep blood for standard hemolysis reading; some protocols call for horse blood. Note the required species on the quote so options match your procedure.
How do I request blood agar in Nigeria?
Add blood agar to your quote list with format, quantity, and delivery city, then submit. Specialists respond with pricing and delivery planning—typically within 24 hours. Final figures depend on brand, pack configuration, and logistics.
Can hospitals and diagnostic labs inquire together with other media?
Yes. Institutions can combine blood agar with chocolate agar, MacConkey, and other Microbiology items on one quote request. List each medium’s format and quantity so the reply stays itemised.
Do you publish a fixed NGN price for blood agar?
No. Pricing varies by brand, prepared versus dehydrated format, quantity, and delivery location. Request a quote for current figures rather than relying on a published list price.
Can I get quality documents with my blood agar quote?
Ask for datasheets, certificates of analysis, or safety data sheets when they apply. State the documents you need on the quote form so specialists include them in the reply.
