Our Sterilization Process

We take agar seriously because clean agar = clean cultures. We don’t cut corners—our sterile agar plates are produced with the same level of care as medical supplies.

1. Agar cups sterilized in a hospital-grade gas chamber.
   

2. Agar mix autoclaved under high pressure for maximum cleanliness.
   

3. Each plate poured in front of a laminar flow hood.
   

4. Cups vacuum-sealed fresh and shipped direct to you.

How to Use Pre-Poured Agar Plates

1. Inoculate: Open cup in a still air box or flow hood and add spores, tissue, or liquid culture.
   

2. Colonize: Allow mycelium to spread across the plate.
   

3. Expand: Transfer clean growth to grain spawn bags or liquid culture.
   

4. Repeat: Use for cloning, isolations, and long-term culture work.

No need to pour agar, buy parafilm, or prep fragile Petri dishes—just inoculate and grow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are agar plates used for in mycology?

They’re used for spore germination, cloning, culture storage, and transfers to grain spawn bags.

Can I fruit mushrooms directly from agar plates?

No. Agar plates are for culture work—germinating spores, cloning tissue, or maintaining cultures. You’ll need to transfer to grain spawn bags for mushroom production.

How long do pre-poured agar plates last?

Stored sealed in a cool, dark place: 4–6 weeks.

Do I need a laminar flow hood?

A flow hood is best, but many cultivators use a still air box with good results.

Are these the same as Petri dishes with agar?

Functionally, yes. They work just like pre-poured agar plates in Petri dishes, but use sturdy, eco-friendly cups that don’t require parafilm.

How long do agar cups last?

Store sealed in a cool, dark place and use within 4-6 weeks. Refrigeration extends shelf life.
