How should I dry homemade agar plates?
    #21728530 - 05/27/15 12:25 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

hey guys, I made three homemade agar plates with glad twist lock containers and have them in the PC right now and was wondering what the bed way to dry them is?

I think OP is referring to the condensation that builds up on the inside; I too would like to know, as for me, I just let 'em sit around till the condensation clears :shrug:

I run into this condensation problem a lot with the PP5 no pour teks. 

I find this helps:
Before pouring your agar into the containers, COMPLETELY dry them with a paper towel.  You want no moisture at all.  Then pour your agar, put the lid on top but don't screw it down.  Wait for it to solidify and cool.  Open it up and you'll notice some moisture on the walls.  Wipe it off with a dry paper towel.  Get all the way down to the agar but don't touch it.  Put the top back on and cover with 2 layers of foil.  PC it.  Let your PC completely cool before opening.  When you have them in your SAB, open them and pour any water out. 

It helps but I still get less condensation when I do a hot pour into glass petris.

Thanks guys, so the agar mix should not be dry correct, it should be kind of like a jelly substance when inoculating the dishes?
