Hi Fellow Lab Landers,

Just wondering has anyone ever tried using a vacuum sealer to keep left over agar plates, and seal up chemicals to stop them absorbing water. If so have you had much success? I was thinking of getting one but thought Id see if any bright spark had this idea and tried it out

I have never thought to do it this way but what ia good idea.
I have a vacume sealer at home and they work great. It was just a cheap one off the internet but had it a couple of years and it gets a workout.

WHAT A GREAT IDEA!!!
I can think of lots of ways we can use them in school.
I use those vacuum bags to store feather quilts in summer and they are fantastic - so ..
