Upon received them, we realised that there are some water condensing on some plates. Is it normal?

Hi Emmanuel, Some condensation is perfectly normal, ensure you store and incubate with the agar at the top to avoid any drips onto your bacteria. Kind regards, Meg

Good product update.

Lasted much longer than I thought it would. Still no contamination. Probably better to pay that extra for a product. I will use this company again

Brilliant service

I ordered the agar dishes along with a couple of other bits that I needed short notice but wasn't sure I'd manage to get in time. Whilst operating at limited capacity DB still managed to get my order out to me really quickly and even included a lovely packet of sunflowers with a message of "free sunflower seeds to brighten up staying at home #StayHomeStaySafe"! This lovely little touch as well as the prompt service will ensure I return for future supplies for the projects in mind. Thanks!
