Pre-poured Petri Dishes
- 🧫 PRE-FILLED PETRI DISHES: Ideal for fungal cultures and cloning, with sterilized agar.
- 💎 ADVANTAGES: Ease of use and reduction of risk of contamination.
- 🔬 DIFFERENT MEDIA: “MPA” medium (Malt, Peptone, Agar-agar) for the multiplication of mycelia, and “Sabouraud + Antibiotic” medium to purify the mycelium.
- 📏 STORAGE ADVICE: Store vertically, at room temperature, in the original packaging. Use quickly.
- 🌍 VARIED USES: Ideal for culturing microorganisms, sample analysis and laboratory testing.
Advanced level:
If you are a beginner, it is best to start with our ready to grow kits or our mycelia on mycelium on grains .
These petri dishes pre-filled with sterile agar are perfect for growing fungal cultures, cloning wild mushroom samples, and germinating fungal spores.
Opting for pre-filled agar plates has many advantages compared to manual preparation. In addition to convenience, they reduce the risk of contamination of cultures because they are cast in a laboratory under completely sterile conditions.
We offer two different growing media:
- Milieu "MPA" (Malt, Peptone, Agar-agar):
It is a classic culture medium which is ideal for the multiplication of most mycelia.
The "second choice" pack has some minor defects, mainly aesthetic. For example, there may be a few bubbles or a few agglomerations in the agar. The quality of the environment always remains guaranteed.
- Milieu 'Sabouraud + Antibiotic':
By adding an antibiotic (chloramphenicol), the development of bacteria is limited. The medium is therefore very selective and is generally used for more risky work, such as cloning fungi from nature or germinating spores. It is also recommended if you work in non-sterile conditions. Note that mycelia growth may be a little slower than with MPA medium.
Conservation
To store unused plates:
For optimal results, use the plates as soon as possible after receiving them. Store unused plates upright, at room temperature and out of direct sunlight, in their original packaging and, preferably, in a clean secondary container.

We advise you to open the bag and work in the cleanest place possible, and if possible with a laminar flow hood, glove box, or with a blowtorch.
The boxes are protected in a waterproof bag, and then sealed together with stretch film. They are not sealed separately. Opening the bag in a non-sterile environment generally results in con
