## Description

EZ BioResearch Malt Extract Agar (MEA) Plates are used for the cultivation of yeasts, molds, and fungi. MEA plates are made with premium-quality Malt Extract, Peptone, Dextrose, and Agar. The nutritionally rich growth medium allows robust fungal growth. All the MEA plates are professionally poured with smooth clear surfaces and free of malt debris and other imperfections. Our industrial scale of production ensures that all the MEA plates contain the same thick layer of MEA and quality of the MEA is consistent on every lot. Pre-poured MEA plates are ready to use. No powder weighing, no mixing, and no autoclaving is needed.

Review: No complaints. - These worked great. No contamination issues , once you open or unwrap them be very extra sterile in the way that you store them until use though. Since the lids just sit on there and don’t thread to the bottom , at least with me I found it easy to knock lid off if not careful so what I do now is after opening the stack and carefully removing just the plates I plan on using then. I then wrap the packaging back over the unused plates and tape the plastic wrap tight over them and put them back in a container just to be safe.
Review: Agar plates - Never had contamination, clean, no broken seals. I've never had any issues.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Agar plates
*by H***D on February 25, 2026*

Never had contamination, clean, no broken seals. I've never had any issues.

### ⭐ Plates do NOT come sealed!! Do not buy!
*by T***A on January 23, 2025*

These agar plates were my first attempt at using agar to grow mushrooms for the first time and I was not impressed. The package (box) it came in was well sealed, but that’s where the “good packaging” ended. The plates were stacked in a ziplock bag stacked on top of each other upside down and there was liquid all over the inside of the bag containing the plates, where the contents clearly leaked all over the inside of the ziplock bag. These plates do NOT come sealed and are NOT sterile. There is no way to return this item so you will be SOL if you want to get your money back for this product. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! UPDATE: within a couple days of posting this review, bacteria started growing in the plates and are visible in the most recent photos added today. DO NOT PURCHASE!!
