Each dish contains pre-sterilized potato dextrose agar (PDA).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre-poured agar plates offer many benefits over pouring your own dishes. In addition to convenience, they are also less likely to contaminate your cultures because they are poured in a lab under an industrial-grade flow hood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStoring unused plates:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, use plates as soon as possible after receiving them. Store unused plates upright, at room temperature, and away from direct sunlight in the original packaging, preferably in a clean secondary container. (Unused plates can be stored upside down in the fridge. However, this can lead to condensation on the lid which can increase contamination risk.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck for condensation from time to time. Condensation in the plates means there is a heat source driving out water from the agar, which will dry out plates quickly. Before using, allow your plates equilibrate to room temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStoring plates with cultures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce cultures are added to plates, store them right side up in the refrigerator. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"North Spore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58456182554927,"sku":"114021","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/4875\/4479\/files\/c00356ffcultivation-equipment-agar-petri-dish-28417312981094_441x.progressive_8f9fb543-b275-4564-8844-1dd651f676e0.webp?v=1789194644","url":"https:\/\/mattshydroponics.com\/products\/north-spore-pre-poured-sterile-agar-plates-10ct","provider":"Matt’s Hydroponics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
