Pre-Poured MEA Petri Dishes – Sterile Malt Extract Agar Plates

Description

Premium Pre-Poured MEA Petri Dishes (10-Pack)

Skip the pressure cooker, avoid messy plate pouring, and eliminate condensation issues. Our Pre-Poured MEA Petri Dishes arrive pre-sterilised, pre-poured, and ready for cleanroom inoculation straight out of the box.

Formulated with classic Malt Extract Agar (MEA), these plates provide a nutrient-rich foundation favored by mycologists for rapid hyphal growth, clear culture visibility, and easy identification of sectoring or contamination. Each batch is poured under commercial HEPA laminar flow conditions to ensure maximum sterility and consistent agar depth across every plate.

Key Highlights:

• Ready to Use: Eliminates time-consuming agar prep, autoclaving, and pouring—ideal for quick lab runs or growers without a dedicated pouring setup.
• Optimal Visibility: Clear, high-transparency 90mm dishes allow easy inspection of mycelial growth rates and health under a microscope or magnifying lens.
• Nutrient-Rich Formula: Formulated with high-grade malt extract to stimulate strong, rhizomorphic mycelial expansion across a wide range of mushroom species.
• Sterile Laboratory Poured: Poured in front of true HEPA laminar flow hoods and sealed to minimise moisture buildup and prevent pre-use contamination.

Ideal For:

• Isolating wild cultures and cleaning up contaminated samples
• Performing clean agar-to-agar transfers and expanding genetics
• Germinating spores or inoculating directly with liquid culture
• Keeping spare sterile plates ready on the shelf for immediate use

Storage & Care:

Store plates upside down (agar side up) in a cool, dark place or clean refrigerator (2°C – 8°C) to prevent condensation from dripping onto the agar surface. Always allow plates to reach room temperature before opening and work using strict aseptic technique.
