Malt Extract Agar Plates for Mushrooms – Pre-Poured MEA + Yeast (20 Pack)

About these agar plates

These plates are poured with our Premium Malt Agar recipe: dark refined malt extract, yeast and organic agar. It’s a consistent, lab-grade medium for growers with dialed-in processes who want clean isolations and predictable transfers.

Each plate arrives sterile and ready to inoculate, so you can skip mixing, pressure cooking and pouring and go straight to culture work.

What’s included

• 20 pre-poured agar plates (90 × 15 mm)
• Two vacuum-sealed packs of 10, in one zip-lock bag

How to use them

1. Check each plate through the sleeve for any contamination before opening.
2. Open the pack in a still-air box or in front of a flow hood.

4. Seal the edges with plate wrap film and incubate out of direct light.
