Agar Slants for Mushroom Cultures – Pre-Poured 50 mL Centrifuge Tubes (20 Pack)

About these agar slants

Agar slants are the standard way to bank a mushroom culture for the long term. Each 50 mL centrifuge tube is poured at an angle with our Premium Malt Agar (dark refined malt extract, yeast and organic agar), which gives the mycelium a large surface to colonize while keeping the agar sealed under a tight screw cap. Use them to preserve a clean isolation, store wild genetics, or build a personal strain library.

What’s included

• 20 pre-poured Premium Malt Agar slants in 50 mL screw-cap centrifuge tubes
• Rack not included

How to use them

1. Check each tube for contamination before opening.
2. Working in a still-air box or in front of a flow hood, transfer a small wedge of clean mycelium from a plate onto the slant.
3. Close the cap and seal it with plate wrap film.
4. Once the slant is colonized, label it and store it for future use.
