Description

These pre-poured agar slants are for long-term storage of mushroom cultures. Each slant contains approximately 10 ml of pre-sterilized potato dextrose agar (PDA) or malt extract agar (MEA) in a 15 ml polypropylene tube.

Storing unused slants:

Store your unused slants upright in a cool location. In the absence of a refrigerator, store them in a cold room.  Check for condensation from time to time. Condensation means there is a heat source driving out water from the agar, which will dry it out quickly. Use within 1 year of receipt.

Usage Tips:

  • Use aseptic techniques and proper sterilization procedures to minimize the risk of contamination.
  • Label each agar slant with the date and strain to track culture age and identity.
  • Monitor growth progress regularly and transfer actively growing mycelium to fresh agar slants or other substrates as needed.
  • Refer to mushroom cultivation guides or consult with experts for best practices and troubleshooting tips.
  • Allow your agar slant to equilibrate at room temperature before use. Then, in a sterile environment, transfer mycelium from a plate into slant. Store in the refrigerator for up to a year. 

Environmental Impact:

  • Made from durable and recyclable polypropylene materials, minimizing environmental footprint.
  • Encourages sustainable practices in mushroom cultivation and research by reducing waste and promoting efficient resource utilization.
