Questions & Answers

Is the orange cap associated with something other than the blue cap? It is usually the blue caps that I see, do the colors convey any meaning?

Orange caps are characteristic of Pyrex.

Is it easier to pour 3 compartment agar dishes from a slim or a regular dish?

In addition to wearing gardening gloves during pouring at 118 degrees, I also have small hands. As the slim is 120mm, my hand feels more comfortable in it. It takes less effort to pour without spilling compared to the 120mm.

Is the orange cap associated with something other than the blue cap? It is usually the blue caps that I see, do the colors convey any meaning?

It's the PBT caps that come with the silicone insert and are more corrosion resistant than the PP ones, they're thicker, more sturdy, have a higher temperature rating, and are also more expensive. Orange and blue caps are PP, or polypropylene, is what they are made of. You might also want to use yellow gas line PTFE tape on threads and spray the inside of a cap with dupont teflon spray or order thin PtFE disks if one is paranoid.

Pyrex is a genuine product
5/5

Put pour rings on the jar. There is no doubt that these Pyrex containers are high quality, having strong lids and thick glass. Their height is just a little longer than traditional 500ml versions, but not much more. This includes the plastic pour rings used to ensure the consistency of the pour. It doesn't seem to affect cooling rate of the agar at all, possibly thanks to the Krater's thicker glass compared to the narrower profile of the Krater's top series.

A borosilicate bottle that meets the highest standards
5/5

Agar or media require a volume of 500 ml, and probably 400 ml of usable volume if autoclaving. It is now possible to pour cleanly into petri dishes using synthetic pouring tins. The average lab setting should be capable of at least a couple of years of service, but with home use, they will probably never need replacing.

Prepare agar by pouring it

A rugged landscape. This is top-notch. Pour the agar into the SAB and it works well.
