Re: Pasty Agar Tek [Re: TheDuder]

Quick question. I've made a couple of batches already and done some successful transfers. But I have a few plates that my dyed green agar is turning yellow. They are fully colonized plates and look clean. Could it be from penetrating the agar with my instrument when doing the transfers? No contaminates on the surface at all

That's normal! The mycelium is eating up the agar and the food coloring changes color as it goes throughout it all. Scared me too when mine started yellowing as well.

That's what I thought. The first one happened after I took the first transfers from it and I threw it away. Then a couple of the second transfers started doing it and I thought maybe it was from penetrating the agar. So I still have those plates.

love this tek, thanks for taking the time to post! got a clone of a cyan goin now, and going to try a print soon...

one question, is there a benefit to me staying with mini rounds? 60mm petris would take up a lot less room in my small space, thanks for your input!

From my understanding you can't do no pour in petris, plastic will melt in the PC and glass will boil over. You have to use a pour tek with petris:thumbup:

Glass petri's work... not sure how that myth began unless it was with some very short-sided petri dishes.  15mm sides and above have worked for me.  They are more difficult to handle, expensive, etc but they do take up less room and have kept me from throwing out plastic petris by the zillions.

I think it's because they usually autoclave and pour agar in the lab instead of trying to keep dishes sterile while handling them outside of their flowhood

I just see no reason to no pour petris, it's not like pouring is difficult whatsoever.

Obtaining petri dishes is a little more work than buying glad rounds.

Agar work can be intimidating at first and ordering petris along with all other supplies might seem to be too much of a commitment or investment for some who haven't even dipped their feet in yet.

No pour is a perfect stepping stone for people getting into agar. It's actuallt so damn convenient that some people haven't bothered switching for years :shrug:

You misunderstood. I think the no pour is a great tek for glad rounds. But I have no idea why anyone would get petri dishes and then somehow turn them into a no pour tek. It's just so easy to pour petris.

Word. Pour your petris. That's what they were designed for.

If your really paranoid about contams pour them hot. That way nothing that gets in during the pour will survive.

hmmm I will admit now I didnt really even think about pouring agar :eek: I did some rounds and played with some spores just to test my contamination abilities, plates look clean but I think Ill go with petri's and pouring if just for the sake of saving space in my little fridge, thanks for the input, and sorry to derail this awesome tread pasty plates are the shit for sure... in a good way :tongue:

You do not have to wrap them. The lid of the PP5 containers should fit good enough. After some PC cycles it might be better to use parafilm because of the potential deformation of the lid. If you have some parafilm laying around, you could use it but it's not neccessary.
