Just poured 10 more dishes. I know I fucked one up good though agar dripped onto the edge of the bottom plate so that one is fucked. I think I'm going to chance it and transfer to the dishes as soon as the solidify and cool enough.

Well I'm almost embarased to upload this because I wrapped the dishes with holiday saran wrap.
I'll be getting clear stuff but I didn't want to go to the store just to get some work done.

The one test plate is still clean. I scraped the middle with my scalpel after I flamed it just to make sure I'm sterile as well as the dish.
The bottom left plate has one spot of bacteria on it.
These were the best looking of the new plates I made. Some of the others were destroyed and resteralized to make new dishes to transfer wedges from this batch onto.
How many more transfers to get an isolate you think?

Lolol, you're not supposed to cover the whole thing in Saran wrap, just the edges. The same way you'd do with Parafilm. I usually cut about a 1" roll off and use that.

Personally, I think your Barbie Dream Agar KIT is just swell. It would make a nice addition to Notahacker420's Barbie Dream SGFC.
But, I see at least 2-4 sectors in each plate. It's hard to say how many it will take. I would estimate 2 more from each of those sectors. But, that's just a guess.

I know how the parafilm works but saran is a dick to work with especially in a SAB mine's not the same size as NaH's but it's taller. I wrap them inside the SAB so the 1 inch thing is a pain in the dick. I really should just buy parafilm. Hence my embarrassment uploading these. At least my contam rate went down.

Wut? No it's not. It's much easier to maneuver a little 1" section from that roll as opposed to the whole damn thing inside your SAB.
You realize I meant to cut the WHOLE roll, right? Lop an inch right off the end and use that.

It crossed my mind but I don't have any cutting utensils that are not going to mangle the shit out of the wrap if I try that. I could probably use a razor blade and just hack through it though. My kitchen knives are shit, and I don't have any saws.

Well I got clear wrap today. Going to try the 1 inch thing out. Just poured 15 plates with a much smoother procedure than usual. I took only 5 of the pink plates from the above post and am expanding them to 3. I also took the liberty of inoculating 5 quarts with wedges from the above plates. I threw out the 6th plate because green showed up on the contam spot that was the bottom left dish in the picture. Pictures in a couple hours after I get all of this shit done.

 12345(original dishes) a (1st xfer) b (2nd) c (3rd)   

Well some contamination showed up on the No2 and No5 original dishes.
Dish 5b and 2c also show some spots.
Not to bad I guess.
Question If a contam sporulates on a dish is the whole thing garbage? I would imagine the spores are everywhere inside of the dish or does taking a small section still over run the contams on a new dish.

If a contam sporulates on a dish, work in a SAB because the flowhood would blow all the spores on you and your work surface

My understanding is the inside of the dish is very still and the spores don't get blown around.
Transferring to a new dish helps to verify.
