Hardy Diagnostics MycoSeal™ cellulose shrink seals are recommended for sealing 15x100mm petri plates.

SUMMARY

MycoSeal™ is a cellulose shrink seal designed to keep petri plate lids tightly sealed. Sealed plates retain their moisture and stay fresh longer. Ideal for mycology and TB cultures, MycoSeal™ prevents dehydration and cracking of the media and yet still allows both oxygen and carbon dioxide gas exchange. The tight seal also prevents the accidental release of mycobacteria and fungal spores.MycoSeals™ are also recommended for use with the "micro colony" method for early detection of mycobacteria growing on a Middlebrook 7H11 Agar plate.

PROCEDURE

After inoculating, place petri dish on a flat surface, with lid facing down. Then place seal around the plate and leave undisturbed. The seal will shrink and seal around the plate in about 2 hours at room temperature (2-30 degrees C.). Sealing time is shorter if placed in the incubator. The seal can easily be cut for removal.
