PRE POURED AGAR PLATES Full Nutrient (MEA) X 8

Description

Commercial-Grade Speckled MEA Agar Plates (Full Nutrient)

For nearly 20 years, Aussie Mushrooms has been at the forefront of Australian mycology. Now, you can build your genetic library using the exact same premium agar plates we rely on every single day at our own commercial farm.

If you are looking for rapid, explosive mycelial growth for your cultures, these ready-to-use, fully loaded nutrient plates are exactly what you need.

The Formula: Full Nutrient Speckled MEA

• The Base: We use a perfectly balanced Malt Extract Agar (MEA) recipe, utilizing premium agar as the solidifying agent.

• The Speckled Advantage: These aren’t your basic, watered-down plates. This is a “full nutrient” recipe packed with complex nutrients and proteins (which gives the agar its signature “speckled” appearance). This dense nutritional profile provides the ultimate, high-octane fuel for strong, aggressive, and highly visible mycelial expansion.

The Aussie Mushrooms Difference

Contamination in cheap plates often starts before you even open them. We don’t cut corners.

• True Sterilization: Every single batch of our agar is strictly monitored LIVE while it cooks. It is properly sterilized in our commercial autoclaves above the required 121°C for the exact minimum time needed to destroy all bacterial and fungal cells. We can provide sterilization certificates if required.

• Class 100 Cleanroom Poured: The plates are poured and cooled inside Australia’s largest, one-of-a-kind, state-of-the-art Class 100 commercial laboratory. This guarantees that when your plates arrive, they are 100% clean, sterile, and ready to use right out of the package.

What to Do When You Receive Your Plates

Unbox them right away—do not leave them sitting in the shipping box for over a month! Store them at room temperature between 10–20°C.

Our Guarantee

If you experience any issues resulting from shipping (which will show up within a week of arrival), please send us photos within 2 weeks and we will happily replace them.

Please note our strict policy:

• Order When You Need Them: If you are not ready to use the plates within a few weeks of arriving, please wait and only order them when you need them.

• Send Photos Unopened: You must send photos of the unopened bag. If you open the bag in an unsterile area, you are on your own, as we cannot cover contamination mistakes made outside a clean environment.

• The 2-Week Window: If you contact us outside of the 2-week window—for example, if you leave the plates in the closed box and only check on them a month later—we will not be able to offer a replacement or refund, as they have not been checked or cared for properly upon arrival.

Pro-Tips for Success

• Work Clean: While our sterile plates give you a perfect blank canvas, mold spores and bacteria are still floating everywhere in your house! To ensure your inoculations and transfers stay perfectly clean, we highly recommend working inside a Still Air Box (SAB) or under a laminar flow hood at an absolute minimum.

• Seal Your Plates: Once you have used the plates for your transfers or inoculations, always close and seal the edges with Parafilm or micropore tape. This keeps the moisture locked in and airborne contaminants locked out.

• Store Unused Plates: Always store your unused plates in ziplock sandwich bags to keep them protected and prevent the agar from drying out.
