BIOTECH QUALITY AND BEST RATED

Factory-direct fresh 10 100-mm pre-poured sterile LB-agar plates, 10 sterile 6-inch long swabs (in 5 pouches), 2 culture tubes and 2 transfer pipets. Our plates are manufactured in the USA using the biotech GMP standards. Each plate has a fresh and thick layer of agar. Fresh plates promote faster and more bacterial growth as compared to aged stored plates. Re-sealable packaging is convenient for re-use.

THE SAFEST PLATES FOR STUDENTS

Not all agar plates are made with the same nutrient formula. The LB agar plates in the EZ Bacteria Science Kits are the safest for kids/students to use in school or at home. LB agar plates support the growth of non-fastidious bacteria while the other agar plates such as TSA plates and blood agar plates allow the growth of more dangerous semi-fastidious and fastidious bacteria, respectively. We recommend that you check the ingredients of the agar plates from the other sellers. Learning science is fun, but the safety of students is more important.

LIVE EXPERT CONSULTATION

Any questions? No worry. Inside the kit, you will find a toll-free number that you can call in case you have a question about the product. You will receive immediate live support from PhD scientists with extensive hands-on experience. Before you buy or try, check out the vendor to see whether it has a telephone number or just an email address. You do not have to wait for the email which may or may not come in time for your experiments.

Great set for a science fair project
5 Stars
Great set for a science fair project
The agar plates worked as advertised. The customer service will answer promptly any questions you have. I emailed them twice. They also send you a link to access an e-booklet where you can read more about the whole process.The booklet also has quite a few suggestions for science experiments involving agar plates, and describe them.We had bacteria colonies growing on the plates in 24-48 hours. A few things to remember:1. Bacteria like a dark, humid and warm environmemt. If you wipe a dry material/place make sure you wet the sterile cotton swab before wiping. I used water from a water bottle.2. After wiping place the agar plates upside down (agar gel up) in a box. There will be water droplets forming inside the plate, and you don't want the water to ruin the agar gel.3.To create a dark and warm environment I used a metal box with lid ( not transparent) that fit all the agar plates I wanted to use in it. I bought a desk lamp and turned it on for 72 hours on top of the box, 3 inches far from the box. I did not use a thermometer.4. The wiping process is easy, you just slightly press on the agar and trace some zig-zag lines all over the plate. If you innoculate different bacteria from different places on the agar plate you use this zig zag technique.5. Don't forget to use a sharpie and write down the name of the place/object you are testing on the side of the agar plate. You will have to take pictures at some point so make sure the name is visible on the side.Our experiment was a success!:)
