Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) Plates for Mushroom Cultivation (10 Pre-Poured Agar Plates)

Easy to use would buy again

any other company you order from is going to show up broken, Spilled Out, Wet, contaminated plates. everybody says you should never buy agar plates off Amazon because it's kind of self-explanatory that you need clean sterile durable non-compromised plates. but this company sends them perfect every time! the quality of the radar is amazing the stability of the gel it doesn't fall apart it doesn't leak, I've never had a problem and I order all the time from them after having problem after problem with every single other order I've ever gotten from someone else for agar plates! I wouldn't be able to do what I do if it wasn't for these guys with their plates because I can't make it myself and I need it to be available to me next day when I'm ready at the last minute!

6 out of the 10 plates showed signs of contamination after sitting for a few months, sealed as they were delivered. I never opened the package until this week to use.

IVE ORDERED THESE SEVERAL TIMES & I HAVE NEVER RECIEVED A BAD PLATE FROM THEM, THANK YOU. YOU CAN BUY WITH CONFIDENCE FROM THIS SELLER. I'VE TRIED OTHER ONES BUT NOW I ONLY BUY FROM HERE BECAUSE OUT OF THE LIKE 60 (EDIT: NOW 80) PLATES THAT I'VE BOUGHT SO FAR.... ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THEM, I REPEAT NONE OF THEM HAVE BEEN BAD, CONTAMINATED, BROKEN OR DRIED UP. SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE& DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME & MONEY ON THE OTHER ONES. JUST BUY THESE

Second time buying. The first time everything was perfect.Second order seemed to be the same. Waited a few days and it looks like two plates ended up like this. I will be buying again!

I've purchased these 6 times over the past few years and 4 of those times the plates arrived in perfect condition. My second order with them a few of the plates showed some condensation and became contaminated quickly after using them, but most were fine and I continued to purchase their product. This last purchase (this weekend) the entire bag was full of condensation, each plate has huge water droplets and the agar itself is visually off on many of the plates, like someone overcooked the media or poured it too early. They may be usable time will tell but for $20 anything less than what I've come to expect (clean, evenly poured/cooked and without condensation) is unacceptable.It's a bit of a gamble buying agar plates online, these served me well as a beginner and the convenience is undeniable but I won't be purchasing again after this order.

Bought these because my own needed more time for condensation to settle. Almost didn’t buy because of some negative reviews. Figured I’d just return it if there was an issue, nothing to lose. They came quick, agar solid and contam-free. Currently colonizing some cultures and they look great. Dishes are a bit cheap but micropore tape around after nocc’n up and they good to go. Would def buy again.

I have bought these agar plates 5 times now, and not had any contaminated plates. Very satisfied with this product.I just wanted to add the photo and explanationI bought the agar plates in the photo on Dec. 1st 2022. Today is Nov. 29th 2023! I lost this box of plates in a move and just rediscovered them today. After a year of sitting around at room temp, they are all perfectly clear! There is a little moisture inside two of them, but otherwise they are like brand new! I'm not going to push my luck and use them. I will recycle the plates with my own agar. But I feel that the cleanliness of this product required mentioning.
