Agar Agar Powder - 15 grams, Laboratory Grade

works well for petri dish prep. Color is less and texture is fine

We purchased petri dishes that didn't include agar on accident so I bought this to correct my error. It was for a simply homeschool project on fermentation. The agar was easy to mix and set up nicely. I will buy it again for our next project!

I have been using agar agar more than 20 years and can definitely tell this brand is not 900 gm/cm strength! I was very disappointed. I would say it is 500-600 gm/cm. It means that using this brand you will need much more product to cook that you used to.

This is my go to premix always consistent makes mycelium happy!

Was very easy to mix up an use in petri dishes. Very durable surface for inoculating - the gel doesn't tear easily.

Can't really comment on growth culture, ended up discarding dispatch due to some other problems. But it did set up well and looked like it was going to work.

Upon opening the amazon package, I was sad to discover the brown bag that contained the agar powder was opened. The agar powder had spilled onto the amazon packaging. I did not feel safe to use the agar powder that had spilled on the package, and the amount that was left on the original package was so small that I couldn't use it for the recipe I was trying to make. Very disappointing.

We used it for a kids petri dish experiment - It worked great!
