@zita086 Yes these plates are plastic. That's why you need to be quick and careful when flaming!

🔥🔥🔥🔥😁

[@kiritpatel513]

GOOD .But if you rotate the plate with surface then bubbles also removed.

[@stary85]

Aren't you gonna kill the antibiotics (if there's any) added to the agar by flaming them like that?

[@chim6718]

doesn't seem like you will be receiving an answer soon fella

[@labtricks]

Nope. Like Charlie said in the video, as long as you flame it quickly, the antibiotics will be fine.
