Re: How to prevent condensation in agar plates [Re: 50mmprime]

What about covering a stack with something insulating like a teakettle cover, maybe even a warmed up one? What if you set them on something like a pizzastone that is cooled down. That kind of distribution of heat should discourage condensation I think?

I have tried putting a cup of warm water on top of the top dish of the shelf but unfortunately I don't have one that is large enough to cover it entirely and I am not exactly swimming in petri dishes especially not glass ones.

Yeah waiting until the agar is cooled down enough to hold is very important.

Really just thinking out loud here but I wonder what happens if you blowdry the top of a dish with condensation. Yeah you blow a lot of bacteria and stuff on there but if parafilmed so what?

Of course depends when you'd do that. Droplets of water just sitting on your agar isn't exactly cool either.

Good thread, interested to hear some thoughts from people more experienced than I. :smile:
