Complete Mycology Agar Kit | 10 Black Petri Dishes 90mm + Sterile Applicators + 100g MYA Powder
Everything you need to start working on agar in one kit. Black plates with activated charcoal reduce mycelium photoinhibition — the same standard used in professional laboratories.
WHAT YOU GET:
- 10 x Black 90mm Petri dishes with activated charcoal (autoclavable, reusable)
- 10 x Sterile disposable applicators for pouring molten culture medium
- 100g MYA powder (Malt Yeast Agar) — estimated yield 20-25 plates
HOW TO USE:
Dissolve 15-18g MYA powder in 500ml distilled water, sterilize in autoclave at 121C for 15-20 min, cool to 55-60C, pour into plates using sterile applicators. Let solidify, seal with parafilm and store in refrigerator.
WHY BLACK PLATES:
Activated charcoal neutralizes inhibitory compounds in some culture media and makes it much easier to observe white mycelium compared to standard clear plates.
