Hello all,I want to try cloning using peroxide agar tek, got some PDA and dishes and am ready to go. In the tek i read it says 1ml of 3% peroxide to 150ml of water, the stuff i got is 6% solution so i imagine i should just whack 0.5ml in? Sorry if tis is a daft question, just dont wanna screw it up over something simple, thanks<>

No. Agar work requires a glovebox or flowhood. You'll also need the glovebox to pour petri dishes. Be sure to let the agar cool before adding the peroxide. You can also dip the piece of mycelium you cut into peroxide, but if you use a flame sterilized scalpel and only transfer material from the center of the stipe or cap that hasn't been exposed to air, the peroxide isn't needed.

Yea, cut it in half with sterilized distilled water, or use half the amount. RR
