Step Materials
This is the list of materials needed for this step.
Instructions
Allow your dishes to dry
After sealing your dishes, let them sit at room temperature overnight to allow their surfaces to dry.
Condensation prevention
As they dry, you should stack your dishes upside down so that condensation doesn't build up on the agar's surface.
Refrigerate
After sitting overnight, put your Petri dishes in a plastic-sealed bag and place them in the fridge. You can store your dishes for months if you follow this process correctly!
Before inoculating the agar dish
Please remove it from the fridge before inoculating the agar dish and allow it to come to room temperature. Bringing the dish to room temperature also helps prevent condensation when opening the dish, which can lead to contamination.
