Well then it depends on if the cups are sterile and how well the user can pour agar into them quickly and cleanly. 

I assumed the member was asking if they could use them for no-pour in the PC.




No I should have clarified.  I realize these wouldn't survive a PC, I was wondering if anyone has ever attempted using these after media was already PC'd - I am not sure how sterile they would come, but maybe using some antibiotic agar you might get away with it.




seen it at mycotopia. but just poured.

Thanks for this tek. I'm kind of sick if working with short half pint jars. My only master jar broke last night and I'm devestated that I lost my culture. I had a couple of agar jars with culture from fruit that I threw on WBS so hopefully all is not lost but instead of having 24 jars inoculated I have 5 or 6. I'm slightly devestated but I've got plenty of prints so I just gotta get cracking on agar. However I'm sure to be weeks to a month or more behind now. Love the food coloring idea as well. I'm bout to head to the dollar store.  Hopefully they have them there. :thumbup:

After using this tek along with a little advice from Cronic about letting my PP5s cool before PCing Im finally starting to have some success with agar. Thanx guys. I was starting to lose my mind a little.

Does this look like a good deal on the mini rounds?  They didn't have at dollar store. Decided I check amazon. I'm an amazon prime member. So free shipping.

I would say that's a lot of agar dishes.  I've been thinking of getting another dozen or so but daaamn.

this is not what it looks like (or maybe it is...)

so this holiday season was crazy for me, let 28 plates go too long.  had to toss them and start a new.  this is really a testament to not only my laziness (I'm on top of stuff now), and the lack of space in my fridge, but also to Pasty's TEK.  these ALL lasted OVER A MONTH AND A HALF with NO refrigeration, survived multiple transfers, dust from smoke, cats, and a dog, and no extra seal, nada.  i didn't even keep the unused ones in fridge till use, they all stayed room temp with no extra filter, in a cardboard box.  just wanna say thx again pasty, ur tek is awesome, and i wanted to post these here so ppl kno u can almost abuse these things if u make them to a t like the tek, and have little contam (if any, maybe i was lucky...?).  In the trash bag pic, thats not a brown contam, thats shiitaki left too long, and browning up a bit in case anyone wondered.

This tek's purpose is to be entry-level, yes?
It does a good job of that in form and instruction, but I feel it can be trimmed even further.

pasty can probably answer better, but i think its so the micropore does not get too wet and water drip into containers.  i had asked him this (in PM) kinda about shaving off the amount of foil.  i tried with no foil, too much water, but this is what i came up with



instead of wrapping the entire container.  works for me, just gotta really press the foil under the lip hard.  i just wanted to save foil  :shrug:

the twist tops are handy because you don't need to alter the lids but the mini rounds take up a lot les space. both methods are sound. to each there own

Even "taking up a lot less space" is partially a drawback, because they have so much less grow-out area.
I get to an isolate in very few dish transfers because mine have far more area to run out and begin clearer sectoring.
And once a dish is grown out, I can use it to inoculate 20 things instead of 7 or 8.
Additionally, I see that everyone's agar is Very deep in these mini-rounds due to the curvature towards the bottom.  They'd have even less area to grow out if agar were used conservatively.  However mine have as little as a normal petri dish with the wide area.

I can only see taking up less space as being assuredly a good thing in the case of refrigerator storage as Pasty mentioned.
Yet I have had more screw-top dished cultures in the fridge than I even want to, and it hasn't become an issue for me except when I have 20 cultures awaiting the results of elimination testing, in which case fridge storage is still optional...

I'm sure this is the (or at least a) correct answer.  It's just a bit of a shame though, needing foil because of needing micropore tape because of needing to modify because of not choosing ready-to-use containers...

not every one has a large PC. even with the lid off and the dishes stacked inside one another I can fit fewer screw tops in my PC than mini rounds. Iv found I use much more agar filling screw tops than mini rounds. the extra surface aria is nice and I love the lids. The truth is I prefer the screw tops but I don't understand why you seem to care so much about what other people use.

Cut that out.  I'm just talking about materials and process.  I don't "care so much about what other people use" anymore than anyone else does discussing what they do and why.

I have an AA910. Very small.  I doubt that more than a handful of people buy AAs smaller than 916.

I don't doubt this, I simply don't think it totally makes up for the other factors.

Such as, "once a dish is grown out, I can use it to inoculate 20 things instead of 7 or 8."
Do you fit Over Double the glad-rounds in the pc?

Personally I don't even use all the dishes I make in my cooker.  Some of mine sit in sterile airflow for weeks before I find something to drop in them.

You use less than ~22mL in the mini rounds?

Even if so, the lesser amount surely doesn't make up for the proportion of lesser area.
