Re-melting agar?
    #22319781 - 10/01/15 03:55 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

So I've just recently started using agar for cultures, so far with 100% success!  But I made too many pasty plates on my last run, and the ones left over have easily twice as much agar as is necessary in them (newb mistake, too heavy handed on the pours).

I'm wondering, can I just plop the unused ones back out into a sauce pan and gently melt them down again, re-pour my plates with less agar in each (essentially doubling the number, I'll be making lots of clones soon) and then re-PC?  Seems like it should work just fine...

Thanks!

I would just use them. Thick plates need love too.

I can understand if your low on supplies, but wouldn't want ya messing something up and having no agar to work with.
