To hell with petri dishes
    #26952689 - 09/24/20 12:47 PM (3 years, 4 months ago)

I've been using little 4oz plastic serving cups for months. I decided I was going to be a "big boy" and invest in petri dishes for my agar. I liked how it was a little easier to do transfers being that they are a lower profile but that's it. Between fumbling with the lids and then having to wrap them with film. JESUS what a process. I did 25 dishes in the time it take me to do 50 of my smaller serving cups. Now I 'm stuck with a crap ton of petris.

That old saying " if it ain't broke, fix it until it is"

Wrapping seemed like a nightmare at first for me too.


I chopped the Cling wrap roll into 1 inch pieces, and with some practice it goes really quickly now.

If I’m wrapping a whole sleeve, sometimes I’ll use a regular roll to wrap up the whole stack in one.

I really enjoy petri dishes but I've never tried anything else.  Never will either.  Wrapping them gets easier as time goes on.  I was cursing up a storm the first time I used parafilm, now I love it.

I prefer petri dishes but I've switched to cups exclusively. I constantly found myself having not ordered more and I would end up using cups anyways.

Plus doing the monthly toss of old petris into the trash always made my heart sink a little...

I love petris, Hate parafilm and Love glad cling wrap.

Op. What kind of plastic sauce cups are you using and how are you sterilizing them?

Wrapping plates becomes really really easy with a little practice.

That's interesting cause in the long run petri dishes save me time and give me better visibility. So I love them compared to most no pours

I don't sterilize. I just buy them off amazon. I open them in my SAB and what I don't use I just wrap back up. If I feel they may be contaminated I rub them down with alcohol. I haven't noticed any contams in my agar doing it that way.

those are the cups

Then you fucked up your process.

So, you're telling me that you pour agar into these little plastic cups without sterilizing and don't see a lot of contams? Do they come wrapped and you treat cautiously until in a sab and unwrap?

I see all kinds of people doing this with sauce cups now.  Even people with major cult operations.  I don't get it.  :shrug:
I would use petris again if it wasn't 100% free for me to rotate dozens of 4oz prepours at a time.  Wrapping totally, totally gets easier though. I don't miss petris, but never found that to be a problem.  I run a dozen varieties of cubes and exotics and prepours meet all my needs sustainably, but I'll never understand how people get by with those sauce cups.  I see it over and over and over.

I’ve tried a few different no pours and hated them. I guess it’s what you’re used to. Petris are simple, lid lifts right off, do your thing and plop back on. And you can see. Omg how you can see. +5 for Petri dishes and Parafilm

Yes they come wrapped in plastic bags. Then the lids and cups are in a separate bag inside the first bag. I open them in my SAB.

Yes I agree you can see really well. My setup isn't no pour. I pour my agar into the cups, then snap the lid on after about 12-24 hours. No different than petris.

Did you wrap all of the poured plates individually? If so, I can see why it took so long. Wrap them in stacks and will take you all of 5 minutes to wrap 50+ plates

To be honest I haven't made the jump to petri dishes quite yet. I have like 30 pasty plates and recently bought a whole bunch of the Alien's Holy Grail plates. I eventually would like to start using petri's but my contam rate with the Holy Grail plates is about 3-5% so far and I can make quite a few at a time.

That being said, I do hate cleaning no pours and it is a process to make them up and PC them which does get old pretty quick.

I read somewhere that you could not reuse plastic petri dishes because you could never get them sterile again without melting. I have seen people use those plastic takeout sauce cups but could not figure out how to prepare them. Would alcohol be sufficient?

Alcohol is not sufficient. It doesn't sterilize.

Regular petris are polystyrene and likely radiation sterilized because they will not tolerate even boiling water, let alone steam sterilization. The takeout cups are polypropylene, which will.

On a side note, styrene petris are recyclable as #6 plastic, same as disposable utensils and CD jewel cases. There's nothing to stop anyone from recycling them except paranoia.

Well I'd say people do petri dishes more often because they are easier visablity. However, with Holy Grail dishes the visibility is great for me. Pastyplates not so much but those are the bee's knees when it comes to plopping an agar plate into some LI or jars.

Glass jars seem a little tall for me to use agar in. I've seen people doing that and it does look good but seems like more work because you can't put alot in PC. Plus doesn't that take up a shit ton of space on work desk?

When it comes to petris it is cheaper than no pours but its up to each person. I like petri dishes because they are cheap and clear but at the end of the day I wont use them more than once. Glass petri is the ideal.

Just depends on if you want to have low visibility on a pp5 container that can be reused but more expensive or a low cost pre-sterilized plastic petri.

I am admittedly in the non-eco court because I cant rationalize making the financial plunge into glass petris at this time.

As for petri dishes I have not had any issues with making them for myself and it is what I am doing currently and for the foreseeable future.

Nah people (myself included) use petris cause they take less time than no pours, better visibility, easier to stack and take up less space, easier to make transfers and work with, lower sides, etc.

I use petris for everything, but no pours are great as well. I find myself switching between the two sometimes. Depending on the application. They're not just for show or flash. Or whatever nonsensical point you're attempting to make here lol

Once you grow up you might be able to afford some petris.  Prolly won’t make the bigs though.

I’m just trolling with the sterilizer...it’s a $30K unit my boy offered to me for free but I had no place to put it.  Really wanted to take it for a future farm.  The hood is mine though and I gotta say, if you ever get the chance to use a large hood, I highly recommend it; It’s choice.

I’ve worked with all equipment described in this post from pasty plates ( I never made nor worked with rather showed one how to do transfers for their personal agenda) for a beginner i would recommend a set of dishes which is $65-$100 for 500, make a Sab that’s hopefully $5 if you’ve got some tools or someone you know who has tools, and bam guarantee you, your contam rate will go down as long as your making good sterile procedure follow bods tek or something

You simply need the right tools and know how’s to progress on

And yeaaaaaa first flowhood was a 12x24
Now running a 24x48 so much better
It’s choice

I pour my agar in a SAB though. I sterilize the media in a pressure cooker for 20 minutes. No flowhood needed.

When you are buying petris in bulk its literally pennies per dish.

I bet i can whittle the cost of my borosilicate plates down to the point that they've not only paid for themselves but are actually turning a profit based on cost per use analysis. And I'm saving turtles.

Investing vs spending...

I'm sure. I actually did the math on yours a few weeks ago. It's obviously a good idea. Although i didn't calculate the cost of energy involved in sterilizing them. But then again, I didn't calculate in the amazing value of each turtle saved. But then again, again, I didn't calculate in the cost of each turtle fart and breath that exacerbates global warming and there by kills off penguins there by neutralizing global warming. Hmmmmm. Time for a beer.

I don't know about that exact size but I've heard of people finding deals on places like ebay and craigslist

I did a shit ton of research on that size last week.  The best place I could find for 99.99% filtration was spycor @ $500 including, tax & shipping(to me).  It was a 24x48x6.
Make sure to find the shipping price when shopping, as some sites add $200 or more.  Spycor was like $40.

Would be super interested if you find a better deal.

48x18 is an excellent size if you want to search that size as well. My hood is this size and I really see no need to be a full 2 feet high. Even G2G with bags is not an issue.

How thick is the filter you use? I'm under the impression these HEPA's need to be 5-6" width?

Anyone using like 2" width HEPAs for laminar flow hood? I want to make sure i can't use these before i pay 200+ because i've found 16x18x2 HEPAs for 70 bucks..


Oh yeah, btw Smart that APE 'globe' pic is SICK :thumbup:

I could be wrong here, but I believe the filter depth will indicate how long it will last.  i.e. a 2 inch filter will have a shorter life span than a 6 inch filter.  i'm pretty sure i'm right, but I could be wrong too  :stoned:

as i now understand, 6"+ width filters are necessary for laminar flow.

Whats the efficiency rating of said filter? Mine I think are 3" thick and are 99.999% ( three digits ) and I know people have used similar filters for many years. If you properly per-filter your filter you should basically never really worry about the life of the thing.
