Explore bacterial culture in three dimensions with this detailed agar plate model, inspired by the appearance of Salmonella colonies growing on selective and differential laboratory media.
The model features a textured agar surface, visible streaking and contrasting raised colonies. These details turn a familiar microbiology laboratory sight into a safe and durable object that can be handled, examined and displayed without the risks or limitations associated with a genuine microbial culture.
Ideal for microbiology and biomedical science teaching, student revision, laboratory displays, STEM outreach events and science-themed gifts, this model provides an unusual way to celebrate the visual side of laboratory science.
Please note that this is a simplified artistic and educational representation. Colony morphology and colour can vary depending on the organism, culture medium and incubation conditions. It is not intended to replace validated reference materials or be used for diagnostic interpretation.
