The antibiotics in the LB-agar plates are not stable. The antibiotic degrades over time, making it ineffective at selecting transformed bacteria grown on the plate. Because of this, we recommend the plates are used as soon as possible once they are received. For labs with low use, the plates may expire quickly, so they may benefit from pouring their own plates using the LB - Miller powder with agar formulation (L3147).
