Hi Shaun
I suspect the device you require is not manufactured. The use of a culinary
pressure cookers is unwise for the intented purpose as it may prove
unreliable,damage the agar and may be unsafe.
HAve you considered a second hand bench mount. Severn scientific in Bristol
might be able to help you out.
If your near me we could probabley sterilise small amounts of agar for you
so mail me.
