Pre-Poured Agar Plates

Reliable Culture Storage

These pre-poured sterile agar petri dishes are ideal for growing out fungal cultures, cloning wild mushroom specimens, and germinating fungal spores. Each dish contains LME, agar, peptone, and sorghum extract. 

Pre-poured agar plates are not only more convenient, but also less likely to contaminate your cultures because they are poured in a lab under an industrial-grade flow hood.

Storing unused plates:

For best results, use plates as soon as possible after receiving them. Store unused plates upright, at room temperature, and away from direct sunlight in the original packaging, preferably in a clean secondary container. (Unused plates can be stored upside down in the fridge. However, this can lead to condensation on the lid which can increase contamination risk.)

Storing plates with cultures:

Once cultures are added to plates, store them right side up in the refrigerator or in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
