Agar Agar?
    #26168414 - 09/04/19 09:14 AM (4 years, 4 months ago)

I bought some agar from china. I thought I was getting a hell of a deal. Until I used it and I have to use 30 grams for 500ml. Where should I buy agar? I am really tired of having to deal with an inferior product. Oh yea I also wasted a lot figuring out I had to use 30 grams per 500ml the directions said 10 grams.

Anyway please let me know where to get the best deal on agar-agar powder. I don't want pre-mix just agar-agar. I would like to buy 1 lb.

Amazon isn't the cheapest source, but you can get 250g for $15, it's really convenient and it goes a long way. 20g/500ml makes a reasonable gel. That should last quite a while.

I also (reluctantly) buy from german Amazon.. normal dosage seems more like 10g / 500 mL or 20g / L and all agar I have used so far works fine at that concentration, not counting the fuckups in the past with clumps and things.

Although on some sites reviews may be faked, generally they should help you tell which agar is inferior at least afaik.

If it sounds to good to be true......

honestly i find the best agar to be the telephone brand from local Asian supermarkets i pay $2.25 CND for 25 grams i just bought 10 packages of it and they gave me 10 packages for 20$ i think thats pretty fair price and 10g per 500ML makes perfect agar everytime

+1 for the Telephone brand packets from the Chinese market. It's much cheaper than "molecular biology grade" stuff and firms up just as well.

If you have problems, please test the pH and avoid moving the plates while they're hot. You need a pH around 7 and a stable surface for it to properly solidify. Passing the agar through a sifter also helps with clumping. :thumbup:
