I would not pour and wrap, pour the whole stack and then either put all the petris unwrapped in a ziploc bag oder wrap them all after pouring the whole stack with saran wrap/parafilm.

If you pour and wrap every single dish, your agar could cool down and you could get some problems with the last petris, because your agar got sticky.


And yes, the quote is from the "Pour Agar Tek" from bodhi, which is in my opinion the best one to go for.

Am i wraping the whole dish lid and all? Wraping afterwards sounds better so I'll definitely do it that way.

No need to wrap after pouring.
Only after inoculating as many others have said.

My unused plates sit in stacks in the SAB until I inoculate them.
My unpoured plates sit in stacks just like the poured ones, sometimes I keep the original sleeve on them too. (This doesn't really apply to glass petris though as they don't come in sleeves presterile like my plastic ones do.)

They sit there sometimes upwards of a week without issue.
I've only ever had 3 contam before using them out of 300+ I've poured.

I have two stacks of poured plates, one is regular ME/PD agar and the other is antibacterial agar (dyed red).
I germinate spores and take clones on the AB agar if I have it handy, otherwise I just use regular MEA/PDA.
Everything else is always done on MEA or PDA.



Follow this link to see how I use Parafilm to wrap dishes after inoculating:

You just wrap the edges but it's OK if a little bit overlaps on to the top or bottom of the plate.

Yes, wrap it only after it's inoculated.
With the the plastic petris, you can safely store them back in the original plastic sleeve after you pour them.

If you wrap the glass ones in foil when you PC them they should be OK that way, especially if you store them in a clean SAB. Put them in a gallon size ziplock for an extra level of security if you feel the need.

70% alcohol is better at sanitizing than 90+
I saw 99% alcohol on the other page. :warcry:

70% percent of alcohol is ideal to a stronger solution. Pure alcohol coagulates protein in contact. Suppose the pure alcohol is poured over a single celled organism. The alcohol will go through the cell wall of the organism in all direction, coagulating the protein just inside the cell wall. The ring of the coagulated protein would then stop the alcohol from penetrating farther from the cell, and no more coagulation would take place. At this time the cell would become inactive but not dead. Under the favorable conditions the cell would then begin to function. If 70 percent of alcohol is poured to a single celled organism, the diluted alcohol also coagulates the protein, but at a slower rate, so that it penetrates all the way through the cell before coagulation can block it. Then the entire cell is coagulated and the organism dies.

I just store them nocd up or not in ziplocks without wrapping them. Just use a new ziplock each time.

Ok thank you, also the directions on the MEA say 20gs to 500ml, simmer to fully dissolved then sterilize at 10psi for 30 mins. Can i just set the glass bottle in a pot of water to boil? Or do i need to boil it in a small pot then put it in the bottle to PC?

I might just be over thinking this haha
