Survey on Unmodified Agar plate lids
    #24226710 - 04/07/17 11:05 PM (6 years, 10 months ago)

Hey guys, please respond only if you have significant experience with the subject matter.

I usually like to use the 4oz ball storage jars to do my agar plates on and I usually drill a 1/4" hole in the lid and put a tyvek/micropore filter over the hole.

Been seeing a lot of you guys talking about unmodified plate lids this year, do you recommend them?

Pics?

I just flip mine upside down so they don't stick. Near 0% contamination rate. I have also found the no-pour tek to be a lot more of a hassle than just pouring plates. I don't like having to make sure the jars are level in the cooker

I use plastic lids...metal lids are outdated in most procedures by now...the single piece plastic lids make everything much easier..and I'm not even using Jars for spawn anymore...bags for me now.

Do you buy pre-packaged bags or do you make your own?

I had satellite contamination around the edges of my no pour jars when using unmodified Ball plastic lids.  Mold was getting past the threads & down onto the agar.  Ended up going back to modified metal lids.

1/4" hole covered with two layers of MP on the side work great for me :shrug:

Honestly I don't think the mason jars even need a GE hole in the lid although I always put one (I haven't used those in ages though).

Try just putting the lid on rubber side up and keeping the band on finger tight
