Listeria spp. 3D-Printed Agar Plate

Explore microbiology in three dimensions with this detailed agar plate model, inspired by the appearance of Listeria spp. colonies on selective culture media.

The model recreates the visual contrast between the agar surface and individual colonies, producing an engaging display piece that can be handled and examined without the risks or limitations associated with a real microbial culture.

It is well suited to microbiology and biomedical science teaching, student revision, laboratory displays, outreach events and science-themed gifts. Whether placed in a classroom, teaching laboratory or personal collection, it offers an unusual way to celebrate the visual side of microbiology.

Please note that this is a simplified artistic and educational representation. Colony morphology can vary depending on the species or strain, culture medium and incubation conditions. It is not intended to replace validated reference materials or be used for diagnostic interpretation.
