Agar from vender

So I tried agar and my plates were terrible. I was curious as to whether or not it's worth to buy pre poured pdya agar in petri dishes they site says they are sterile and vaccum sealed. Only 7 bucks for 4 plates. Think it's worth to get a nice even plate with good visability?

If you are independently wealthy, yes. Agar is pretty simple to pour if you can follow instructions. Good luck Dick

I get my agar, vacuum sealed and pre-sterilized, from a great gourmet mushroom vendor that i have used to get everything from lab apparel to agar and grow substrates/spawn. All are guaranteed to arrive uncontaminated or money back/replaced is the vendors motto. Fast shipping also.

I think you're just not trying hard enough man....
Open your plates upside down in a SAB, inoculate upside down, set the plate on the lid...upside down.
In a SAB of course.

Could you explain or link me to the reasoning for this please? Thank you very much. Dick

I get premixed MEA. It comes in different sizes, but I don't need much so I got the 4 ounce bottle. I use about a tsp per 125ml of water (I make mine a little soft and adjust as needed). After mixing you just pour into pastyplates and PC or PC a pour bottle and pour in sterilized plates in your SAB. If you can manage pouring inside an SAB, you'll end up with better looking plates IMO. I like pastyplates but they can be cumbersome to have to PC them all.
I plan on doing more agar work very soon as I have no cultures at the moment. Got some aa+ I've been really looking forward to, and need to separate spores from contams.
