water droplets in agar...
    #5476557 - 04/03/06 08:45 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

i see that when the more experianced people show their agar plates there is never any water droplets but in all of mine there always are lots of drops. so i was wondering how they stop the drops from forming.
I already wait till the agar is cool b4 pouring so that can't be it. there no drops in them till they've been in the incubater at 80-81F. what teh deal lol?

Do not use vaseline or soap on the lids, or you'll grow nothing but green. First, get your petri dishes out of the incubator. Petri dishes should be grown out at room temperature. Second, store the dishes in a vertical stack. The condensation is caused by the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the petri dish. Stacking dishes vertically equalizes the temperatures and prevents condensation.

You can also put a coffee cup full of hot water on the top one to keep it clear.
