Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked Perfectly! We departed from the norm and swabbed high traffic areas in the school as our wild card sampling. Dramatic results, clearly illustrating the importance of just washing your hands and cleaning regularly!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Grew well... a titer would have been nice Bacteria grew as expected, however I was a little disappointed a titer was not included in the materials sent. Had to figure out on my own... but turned it into an educational opportunity, so all was fine in the end and there were indeed plenty of bacteria. We calculated about 3x 10^8 cfu/ml by the way...

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Nutrient Agar I purchased 3 packs of 10. Each pack had 1 or 2 broken tops; crushed where pieces of the plastic top were stuck in the agar. Fortunately I did not need more than were in great condition.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Moldy Plates I'm glad that I only needed a few of the plates from this set because several of them had mold when they got to me, and seemed to pass it on to other plates the longer I waited to use them.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great customer service! Mold on several plates. Sara answered all of my questions, made great suggestions, and guided me through the process very skillfully. The plates arrived quickly; however, when we opened the lids, we found mold on three of the ten plates. Happy with everything except the mold.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from not sterile plates I bought these plates to save a few minutes before the lab. Unfortunately, the plates were contaminated and not sterile. 24/30 plates have growth on them.
