I don’t open them at all. Just turn to loosen the lid. Lid does not come off. I can do a full 3 turns to remove the lid. I was doing two full turns. I’m now only going to do 1 turn to let the condensation dissipate.

After inoculation, do you guys close the lid fully or leave it a bit unlocked for gas exchange?

Is not needed, lid all the way closed works awesomely for gas exchange. I only leave the lid loose if i'm trying to evaporate condensation.

That's really strange, the lid on mine comes off completely after one third of a full turn. You can also tell if you follow the screw thread that it doesn't go around a full turn, it looks the exact same as the images in the original post so can't be a different product.

Just for info. Some of these have been in the fridge since December.

I’ve examined 3 today that will be used for liquid inoculant.
Jack, Ok so imagine loosening them 1/3 of a full open turn. That is what I mean.

Hey everybody! First post.
Already loving these plates for my first tries with agar, eight leetle babies all tucked in on their shelf.
I didn't see this mentioned: There's a new kid in town on Amazon, selling twenty for about 60% less than the other guy. I just ordered a pack, hopefully they're the same thing.
Link: (thanks nevereataaminita)

They have worst visibility! Look at the last picture of the amazon link! the lid windows is blurry. Although they seems to be pp5, so probably safe on that side. But i wouldn't buy them cause of the visibility:

Only reward the companies that sells a worthy product.

Interesting, and thank you. I'll check them out when they arrive. The sets I got from the original seller (ordered right after your first post) look just like that photo. If this new set doesn't look at least as good, it's Prime so I'll send it right back.

Ran 24 HGs today, with no large container in pc or after. Quite a lot of condensation after cooling, but 4 of them are ready to go! Hopefully the condensation on the rest will evaporate within a week or two. If so, the method is perfect for me. Really looking forward to working with these!

I just found this tek and it looks great so I'm going to give it a try. I just ordered 40 plates. It looks like condensation is a slight issue although it doesn't seem too bad considering the several benefits of using these plates.
Does water get into these if the lids are screwed on tight? If not, I think condensation could be reduced by placing 4-5 in a quart jar and fill the quart jar with water. If water can be used to insulate, there won't be as much of a difference in temperature between the bottom of the plate and the lid as the water will take awhile to cool just like the agar solution.
If water can get in, I think maybe saran wrap could be used. I understand that one of the benefits of using these is to not deal with saran wrap but if it works it may be worth the trade off.
Anyway, I may give this a try once I get these plates, unless you guys think it's a bad idea for some reason. I just started this hobby like 2-3 weeks ago so I have no idea what I'm doing at this point.

Its was Berlin packaging. They are not good. They aren't clear they are foggy. They seal shut in PC and seal to each other. Like when you stack them they suction together. They lids suck and seal. Extremely hard to pry open if not left half loose in the PC. Dont buy them from berlin

I think the OP original link company has become an oligarchy on its way to a monopoly    even in difficult times like this.
