Buy CLED agar (urine) in Nigeria
Request a quote for CLED agar for urine culture in Nigeria. Electrolyte-deficient UTI media—specify plates or base, brand, and delivery city.
CLED agar (cystine–lactose–electrolyte-deficient) is formulated for urine culture: low electrolyte content limits Proteus swarming so colonies stay discrete for counting and identification, while lactose differentiation helps characterise common urinary pathogens. Nigerian hospital and outpatient labs use CLED when processing midstream and catheter urine for UTI workups, often alongside MacConkey depending on local SOPs. Its selective purpose is urine-focused isolation with swarming control—not X/V enrichment (chocolate), hemolysis reading (blood agar), or Salmonella/Shigella stool selection (XLD). Order Life Science lists CLED agar under Microbiology as a life science product available by quote: add it to your quote list with quantities, 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 preference and pack size on the form.
What to specify in your quote
State prepared plates versus dehydrated base, plates or packs per order, preferred brand or acceptable equivalents, and typical daily urine-plate volume. Include the receiving laboratory address and any CoA or datasheet needs. If your SOP pairs CLED with MacConkey, list both lines on the same quote.
Use / procurement notes for Nigerian labs
Clinical microbiology and outpatient diagnostic centres across Nigeria stock CLED for routine UTI culture where clear colony counts matter. Confirm incubation and reporting cut-offs in your urine SOP before locking monthly quantities. Multi-site purchasers should standardise one CLED specification for training and QC consistency.
How to request pricing and delivery
Add CLED agar (urine) 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.
Why choose CLED agar for urine instead of MacConkey alone?
CLED’s electrolyte-deficient formula reduces Proteus swarming so colonies remain countable on urine plates. MacConkey remains useful for Gram-negative selection and lactose reading but does not solve swarming the same way. Many Nigerian labs follow SOPs that specify CLED, MacConkey, or both—state your method on the quote.
What pathogens is CLED intended to support in urine culture?
It supports growth and lactose-based differentiation of common urinary isolates while keeping swarming organisms more discrete. It is not the medium of choice for Haemophilus/Neisseria enrichment or for selective Salmonella/Shigella stool plating. Match specimen type to the medium your SOP requires.
How do I request CLED agar for urine culture in Nigeria?
Add CLED agar (urine) 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 combine CLED with other urine-workflow supplies?
Yes. Institutions can request CLED together with urine containers, MacConkey, and other Microbiology consumables on one quote. Itemise each product’s format and quantity so the reply stays clear.
Do you publish a fixed NGN price for CLED 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 CLED 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.
