I am absolutely comforted to know that tablet case is anti-fake.

There are different petri dishes for different purposes, but those actually look normal. The lid is meant to be loosely sitting on top to allow for ventilation, and plastic ones are popular since to use a large amount of glass ones would be expensive and maybe even hazardous (and most sterile tools are one-use, very wasteful I know). I don't want to think about carrying a 10 stack of them around if they're all glass.

I've carried 10 glass petri dishes filled with agar. They're not that heavy, not at that size. Also, you can resterilize glass dishes. You just stick them open in the oven at 200 for 2 hours. Tissue culture does tend to use a lot of one-use plastic stuff though.

If you drop one from your hand it won't even crack. At the worst the culture is ruined by cross-contamination or something, depending on what you're doing. The way to make a huge mess with Petri dishes is to drop a stack of 20 when you're moving them to the fridge for cooling, because at that point the agar is still liquid. It'll go everywhere and once it cools it'll stick to surfaces.

You're right that a well-wrapped stack wouldn't be too damaged by dropping it, but if it was a single plate, dropped while moving it from the incubator to the hood? That can and has been very bad for people. Especially if you're working in an underfunded understaffed overworked government hospital laboratory and you don't follow most of the best practices as they have been abandoned in favor of speed. And also you definitely would have gotten chewed out by the laboratory assistants and your superiors for hours if you had dropped an inoculated plate no matter how well it was wrapped.

i worked at as a trainee lab tech for a bit at my old high school and we used those plastic petri dishes all the time, they're used for low level culturing, glass ones are used if you're working with stuff that needs to be properly sterile because they can be autoclaved, but plastic ones you can scrub out with bleach and set more agar jelly in them cos they're being used to grow bacterial cultures for science projects instead of for medical use

@@peterpop-off I have a bunch of tarantulas, a vinegaroon, several isopod colonies and a "beetle bin" filled with various beetles and a few dubia roaches that reached maturity before I could feed them off to my various pets. I also have a pacman frog, a leopard gecko, a painted turtle and a cat. I work from home, and taking care of them all is my main hobby. I don't think I could do it if I didn't work from home.

I use a cleaned-up Pringles can lid as a food dish for my snails. I took the lid from my nephew's Pringles years ago and it has lasted all this time.

These return videos make me so sad. There is so much tat in the world.

I'm addicted to these types of videos lol

When, at the start, he struggles with the gray bag. Sealed by the gods. You can almost predict how sad them items are going to be 😂

@12:30 the "golden spaghetti monster" looks like a terribly tacky looking fly curtain.

I did cell culture in a university laboratory for a year. We used plastic petri dishes like those. However, those are no longer sterile, so they can’t be used for cell culture any more.

Could you not just autoclave them?

Glad Ashens was able to make the train home from Dan's home in time to record this video as well.

I always enjoy some new content from ashens, thanks

I’ve always been fond of the Silica Gel branded tablets, great purchase

Love these returned product videos.

Marketing Men Everywhere: "Sir! Sir! I've thought of an idea to double our profits! 2-in-1 Scarves AND Table Runners!" "Jenkins, you're an idiot."

This is a fun format on the video, I kinda miss the wish random word vids though. Also that golden thingy is probably something you put on a door frame, the kind of 90s nack that was so popular to do. Otherwise i have no clue

It's gonna be an entire pallet of POP STATIONS!

I do abstract mini paintings in the plastic Petri dishes and hang multiples together. I love them!

5:10 found it ironic u said that, i just started reading it about a month ago after anticipating it for over 6 months, amazing so far

Most 'returns' items sold are just crap sold at hiked up rates. If you actually want to buy return items you'll pretty much have to drop a couple hundred pounds on a returns pallet from one of like three companies that actually handle return items

Shame Ashens isnt 45

I used plastic petri dishes in my high school marine biology class. We used them for observing flatworms (planarians) and how they regrow when divided. Also, we used them to keep track of the development of fertilized sea urchin eggs!

What fun! 😂🤣 Love your narration!

the blue case looks like it might be for an Amazon Fire tablet

I do wonder what the state of Ashen's house is...like is every available bit of space taken up with action figures with melted faces, faulty electronics and chef excellence cooking gear??

I've got two of those kid's tablet cases. They fit just about anything, and they are quite good.

15:31 This is for an Amazon Kids tablet. We have a pink one, it has certainly done its job.

The blue tablet cover is what door-to-door salesman use, it protects their tablets from dog attacks.

Even that it saddens me to see that this is just a fraction of the stuff that people order probably from the other side of the world just to end on a landfill, at least we get to see their a minute or so fame on Ashens' channel.

I have that keyboard. I use it with my Ipad since its smaller than others and as an artist, allows me to use shortcuts faster. The battery does go on for a long time, and because it had a metal plate back, it sticks to the Ipad magnets.

I have almost that exact keyboard, I use it for my tablet and it's great for the purpose. Long battery life, pretty sturdy even though it's thin (especially when it's kept in the case I use for my tablet), the light is sort of useful for typing in the dark, no noticeable latency, keys feel right. Maybe the one you got doesn't connect or something, but that's actually quite a good thing to get in one of these returned items bags

Plastic petri dishes are extremely commonly used in pretty much any biological laboratory, especially for microbes but I've also used them for insects and other small organisms such as fish larvae. The plastic ones are popular because they're cheap, "disposable" and usually sterile in the packaging. Because it's often desirable to have as little contamination of other bacteria as possible if you're growing them, and because bacteria grown in petri dishes can be dangerous (ex. multiresistent) they are not typically reused for that purpose and are disposed of in biohazard waste. Although usually they're bought with some sort of substrate (usually nutrient agar) already in them, empty ones are also used in enormous quantities at biolabs, and thus this whole package is likely significantly less than £1.

I can see that keyboard being useful to bring on a plane if for some reason you want to bring a tablet instead of a laptop.

Ha, my son has that exact blue tablet case. Has genuinely protected it when bouncing down the stairs.

That gold hair thing is a door curtain. I bought 2 black ones from eBay and put them on the back door outside to stop the flies getting in. It worked until it gets really windy and then strands of it stick to the wall
