[Arabidopsis] Petri Dish Racks

[Tobias Baskin]

Hi,
	We made our own by hand, lots of little strips of plexi 
glass. Its a pain. Its a bit easier to make them from wood, but still 
tedious. I have since learned that some baking cooling racks have 
spacings that are just right. You will have an amusing trip to the 
local supermarket or home-stuff store with your petri dish to find a 
product with optimal spacing. I have also seen plates placed all 
together in small boxes. This doesn't give space between each plate 
but if the boxes have shallow sides (like pipette tip boxes) it can 
be ok. Hope this helps.
