How long do pre-poured agar dishes last in the fridge??
    #21910784 - 07/07/15 05:33 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

I am referring to the pre-poured agar dishes sold on a few of the sponsors websites. I read they are best stored in the refrigerator, but I was hoping someone could tell me how long they stay good if left in there? I want to order some before the second week of July to take advantage of a website's coupon code before it expires, but I won't be using them until September. Is this too long of a wait?

If you keep it in the bottle it should last years. Assuming it doesn't contaminate. Even poured dishes stored in airtight conditions would last a couple months no problem.

As long as they don't dry out, most media are stable for a fairly long time. I have used 17 year old media successfully in the past (long story), so a few months probably wont hurt you much.

Best conditions are cool, air tight, and dark. If not, then at least moisture tight and out of direct light. Unless you plan on publishing a nutritional analysis of the media and mycelia afterwards, you don't have anything to worry about.
