Traditionally, you receive a new liquid culture in the mail & before you can use it; you have to put it on agar to make sure the culture is clean. When you buy a colonized agar plate this entire step is eliminated saving you WEEKS in your production schedule. Upon arrival, you can immediately see that there is no contamination on the agar plate. Toss a piece of the agar into a jar of liquid culture to expand for future use and use the rest of your plate to put into grain to create spawn. No down time waiting for agar testing results.
This is the future of mycology.
