&#xA0;|&#xA0;

Size:10-Pack




























Malt Extract Agar (MEA) is used for the cultivation and maintenance of fungi, particularly yeasts and molds. Malt Extract Agar is used as a general purpose growth media to isolate and cultivate yeasts and molds from clinical samples, as well as a wide range of environmental sources. MEA is designed to contain the proper formulation of carbon, protein and nutrient sources essential for yeast and mold growth. Malt Extract Agar is perfect for mushroom tissue cultures.

## Features

- OUR PLATES ARE PRE-POURED. DON'T WASTE TIME POURING AGAR. The plates are pre-poured Malt Extract Agar (MEA).
- THESE MEA PLATES HAVE A SHELF LIFE OF AT LEAST 10 MONTHS, WHICH IS MORE THAN DOUBLE TODAY'S STANDARD AND ARE MANUFACTURED IN THE USA. Our plates won't crack or dry out. They have a thick layer of agar which promotes good growth, have been professionally packaged and vacuum sealed in a level 5 cleanroom for a longer shelf life.
- THIS PACKAGING PROCESS IS PATENT PROTECTED. We use a method of vacuum-packing our petri plates in an inert gas environment that enables long term storage of many types of petri plates at room temperature for two years or more without deterioration of the nutrient agar contained in the filled plates. Standard storage times and conditions for traditional, sleeve-packed petri plates are normally three months in a refrigerated environment.
- PLATE DIMENSIONS. The plates are 100mm in diameter x 15mm deep. The agar in the plates has a depth on average of 6-7mm
- DESCRIPTION: 1.275% Maltose, 0.275% Dextrin, 0.235% Glycerol, 0.078% Pancreatic Digest of Gelatin, 1.5% Agar

### ⭐ 







  
  
    Contamnated while still in packaging!
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2020*

All of the agar plates were still in the sealed packaging from the day I ordered (8/09) till the time I decided to pull them off my shelf to use. Now today (8/24) I see that one of the dishes are contaminated. This makes me question if these dishes were actually poured in a sterile environment.Update 9/21: I found contamination in 2 other plates. Very dissatisfied!

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Defective product revived twice in row.
  

*by B***T on Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2020*

I’ve never had issues with Pre sterilized petri agar and only made a couple orders with this manufacturer. But both times 100% of the Petri dishes resulted in contamination of the specimen. It should be noted that I received a vacuum sealed package but before the seal was broken I took these pictures. There was approximately 40% condensation seal within the package and within each petri. Seller replaced 1st of with another defect. I didn’t bother to return I just purchased with another company. I don’t have the time or money to waste and wait for history to repeat itself a 3rd time I did send an email to seller but never heard back.

### ⭐ 







  
  
    Sealed yet very contaminated. Excess moisture.  Buy MEA elsewhere.
  

*by V***L on Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2019*

Still vacuum sealed. Only 2 dishes uncontaminated. Growth everywhere! 1 of those 2 are usable, as there is way too much moisture in a lot of the dishes. Just Poor quality. Do not recommend..
