Because they get damp in the PC. Besides the clarity it also sometimes makes the plates stick together from surface tension causing grief.

I dunno about no pouring glass plates, I want to say you can't but then some rascal will come in saying how they've done it that way since the beginning of time lol. I wouldn't.



Tf you talking about?
I have a pc full of glass petris no pour ready for transfers later.

another rascal jumping in lol, i've been using them for a bit now too- once i realized i had to store them in ziplocks or wrap them they have been totally fine. you totally can, a lot of people just don't really like them for some reason. they were a bit cumbersome at first but after watching how people cut from actual petris they've been very usable, the most annoying part is dealing with the ziplocks but as agar plates they work really well. but people who prefer pouring to no pours, it makes sense that they'd just pour into disposables & not have to fuck around with it. just different preferences but the glass plates look really nice imo & i just didn't wanna be throwing away petris all the time

You don't need to wash no pours, from my tek:

Quote:

CLEANING THE PLATES AFTER USE

Due to the fact that these containers are rather rigid, they won't allow to squeeze out the agar puck, like you can do with glad mini rounds for instance. Instead, I take my scalpel and detach the puck from the very edge using the tip of the blade. The puck comes out easy and quick and weird enough, I find it to be a strangely satisfying task. :lol:

Then I wipe down the cup and the lid with a dry paper towel and that's it, no washing necessary. Then, snap the lid on and store the empty containers like that for later use.




Those kind of containers you posted are no good for agar, look for something sturdier.
You can find some pointers in my tek as to what to look for and where.
Wasted good money and time in the past buying bad quality containers that looked just like those.

Also, sandman posted something the other day in this that I found interesting and useful:

PP deli cups come in two types. Blow molded and injection molded. These thin ones are blow molded and the thicker ones are injection molded, as are glad cups etc. So you can include injection molded in your search to come up with thicker ones. Here are some larger but much thicker ones https://www.amazon.com/Karat-FP-IMDC12-PP-Injection-Molded-Containers/dp/B07MCFCL1L





I'd give that thread a read too. It was made recently and it pretty much covers your questions. I think the OP in that thread even posted the same containers you linked to in the OP.

The thin containers age fast and start cracking after the 2nd or 3rd pc run.
I find the clear plastic is most often the thin flimsy type that are blow molded.
