    This depends on the manufacturer most of the time and how many overwraps there are. Many places throw away open packets at the end of every day!

    Also some places keep plates in the fridge whereas others don't. Your best bet is to phone the manufacturer of the plates that your unit uses.

    If the agar plates have covers, just keep them in the fridge for next day. We had to pour our own.
