Care to elaborate on what you disagree with about it?


You ever use a canoe? If you paddle faster you move faster. Open the windows of your car on the highway. The air comes in hard.
Moving slowly through a swimming pool causes less ripples than when you are moving fast. Is there a disturbance when something moves through the air? Yes. The degree to which this occurs depends on the size and shape of the object as well as the speed at which it moves. Someone slowly removing covers is not going to cause much of a disturbance. Speed absolutely matters

Nice. Stainless steel too, supposedly.


Following up on this, it's not going to work.

Plunger is PETG plastic, won't survive sterilization. I don't see a way to take it apart to modify easily.

So you can actually remove all of that stuff... the problem is that the spring is definitely not stainless and the rod end is pretty narrow and could potentially just stab your agar when trying to push out (depending on agar rigidity).



I really really really like the idea of this and if I had the money and the Chinese factory connects, I'd put out a product.

I wanted to return mine rather than dismantle it because I saw stabbing the agar as sub-optimal. I'm still looking out for a workable option compatible with a small induction coil.

sorry for the crude drawing, but something like this might work
if you took all the guts out, you could find a metal rod and bend it into a loop at one end. you'd put your thumb in the loop to move the rod up and down inside the cylinder to push the agar out. you'd probably hold it like a syringe or something

Just a friendly reminder that these plunges only increase the possibility of contamination. It might make a pretty plate but ABSOLUTELY NOT* necessary.

A little chip off the surface with a scalpel is more than enough.

Totally fair, I'm being lazy and want as few movements from tool to sterilizer to agar and transfer target. I feel like the plunger being sterilized (assuming it was metal) would just add to the cooling time needed.

I'll stick with a scalpel.

How do they increase the risk of contamination? Iโ€™ve been using one for a while. Havenโ€™t seen any issues with it.

The only thing I donโ€™t like is how small the transfer pieces are. Theyโ€™ll come lose in the dish if your not careful after transferring and wrapping the dish. I actually stopped using it for plate transfers for that reason. Now I only use it for when Iโ€™m filling micro centrifuges.

If you arent using a scalpel it won't increase the risk but I have seen some videos of people punching AND then using a scalpel to pluck the puck. If that is not what you are experiencing you should be all good.
