Culture-Media Agar (AGAR / AGAROSE)
Agar is an essential basic product for biotechnology, medical, pharmaceutical, and food research. Main products include culture-media agar (TAIYO-AGAR) and agarose (TAIYO-AGAROSE).Culture-media agar is made from high-quality Gelidium seaweed and holds a leading market position, supporting basic research in the rapidly developing biotechnology field.
Drawing on years of experience, technological updates, and R&D improvements, we have rationalized and streamlined our production lines and implemented systematic, rigorous quality control from raw materials to finished products to ensure a stable supply.
