1/2 or 1/4 pint mason jars as petri dishes?
    #28014420 - 10/24/22 04:34 PM (2 years, 2 months ago)

Just wondering if anyone else uses the small 1/4 pint, or the wide mouth 1/2 pont as petri dishes? Im sure you can pc them. Just not sure if buying disposable pre sterilized dishes is just simpler.

I've definetly seen both jars used and disposible plates.

I opted for 3.25oz ketchup cups, They come sterile and are cheap.
Not PC able. Lids will fail. Pour agar in the SAB or hood.

Welcome and :goodluck:

I used the 2 oz condiment cups and they are working out pretty well. Just pour at the lowest temp you can to not have a bunch of condensation.

For no-pour agar, you could use PP5 ziploc twist mini containers 4oz(118ml). No modifications are required and they work great if you don't mind some loss of visibility(lid is transparent but has color blue). During the PC, lid should not be completely closed, like a notch back.

If you can find those PP5 containers it would be best. See Alien's Holy Grail No pour Agar unmodified containers.

I tried the 1/4 pint jars before, they are too small a diameter to be useful. I also commented about the 1/2 pint jars on your other post.
