Description

Pre-Poured Ultra Clear – Low-Nutrient Agar Plates (8 Pack)

Upgrade your mycelium work with high-clarity, low-nutrient agar plates designed specifically for precision tissue transfers, strain isolation, and cleaning up contaminated cultures.

Key Features

  • Low-Nutrient Recipe: Specifically formulated to force aggressive, exploratory rhizomorphic mycelium growth while slowing down fast-spreading bacterial and mould competitors.

  • Pre-Poured & Sterile: Ready to use straight out of the box—poured under strict sterile conditions to save you time and eliminate batch-to-batch inconsistencies.

  • Optimal Pack Size: Comes in a convenient 8-pack, perfect for running transfer series or working through small cloning projects without wasting unused plates.

Best Used For

  • Isolating Monokaryons & Sectoring: Encourage clean, distinct rhizomorphic strands for easy selection.

  • Cleaning Contaminated Cultures: Perform targeted transfers away from mould spores or bacterial spots onto a low-nutrient medium that slows down competitor growth.

  • Tissue Cloning: Clone wild or cultivated mushroom specimens with reduced risk of nutrient-driven mould blooms.

  • Long-Term Culture Storage: Lower nutrient density prevents overly rapid senescence on the plate.

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.
