Bindibadgi that is an amazing product.
It certainly would save a lot of time, effort and fussing.
I LIKE it ! a LOT

That looks perfect for many tasks. David, is it possible to make the moltena gan and pour into the perti dishes, and then once they are set, to "sterelise' them by Nuking them in the UV? or wouldnt it work this way? My thoughts are that this would eliminate the "working aseptically" s...

david, I LOVE the idea of a UV stereliser! Too late for today, but for future , Where from, what size? cost? Please

yes Dime been Googling and uTubing but with no success. Thats why I turned to you guys for help. At the moment I have some glad wrap 'sterelising' between two layers of paper towel soaked in Metho. I have no time to tria re the microbial growth- the teacher will be using them before I get to see the...

The surface presses involve benches & desk, aprons and lab coats(fabrics), phone mouthpiece and food cutting boards. So we'r...

Anyone help?

OOPS! Thanks Rosalie

Does the liquid that the pepper corn is boiled in, then go on to produce a baciilus selective medium? Is that whats happening ?

Anyone have a recipe? that would help me asking random questions

Wild cultures are generally safe, as long as plates are not opened once grown, disposed of properly etc. Can someone please tell me about the peppercorn plates? Does t...

lada, it IS like workingpart time (or seasonal more aptly) Dont know how you guys (who tend to boredom,) find the time to be bored on the job. Unless youre not wearing as many 'hats" (roles ) as I and some others have. never a dull moment, only sitting to finish the last of my (now ) soggy sala...

Judy- boiling chips are not the same as calcium carbonate chips.

Dont use calcium carbonate or marble chips , as boiling chips!

I had some driftwood a while back, and it also leached.
Just need real wood (not resin) for my plecos to rasp on

yes makes it very murky indeed. So boiling up my 'stick' again
