To determine that an agar plate is sterlize you can keep it overnight in incubator without streaking and if there is any growth peresent in it then it is contaminated and if not then it is obveiously sterlize
Petri dishes are usually sterilised by the manufacturer (check package). You can check it by adding media (like LB broth or agar) to one or two plates of the batch and leave them overnight at 37 degrees Celsius. If nothing grows, consider them sterile.
When in doubt, autoclave them and always autoclave agar before poring plates.
Agar is a medium, so you are checking the sterility of the agar. After preparation one usually places an agar plate at room temperature and another agar plate at 35 to 37 degrees C. After 24-48 hrs of incubation a visual check is made to see if there is any visible growth on the uninoculated plates.
If you are adding blood, etc. to the agar, those components can be checked by subbing them to a blood agar plate to see if there is any growth--which would indicate non-sterile components.
With detergents
if you use petri dishes do you put nutrient agar in it if your using blood?
it is the same temperature as a body
Bacteria will grow in blood but no the growing medium in petri dishes should be clear agar.
Yes DNA does adhere to polystyrene in petri dishes. In an experiment the control substance was non adherent to germ tubes that were produced on a glass surface.Ê
Sterilized broth is clear, meaning no bacterial growth. Non-sterilized broth is cloudy.

The importance of labeling petri dishes is important. When looking at reaction on specimens or the growth of bacteria of items in a petri dish, if it is labeled incorrectly the data will be wrong and projects could be jeopardized.
You have to put the liquids with a pipette, and then you can analyze it.
Agar and petri dishes.
A petri dish is a round, shallow glass container with a glass lid. See the link below for pictures of petri dishes.

A Petri dish is a shallow glass or plastic cylindrical lidded dish that biologists use to culture cells. It was named after German bacteriologist Julius Richard Petri, who invented it when working as an assistant to Robert Koch. Glass Petri dishes can be re-used by sterilization (for example, dry heating in a hot air oven at 160 °C for one hour); plastic Petri dishes must be disposed of after one use.
The fruit juice is contaminated with fungi spores. This causes the fungi to grow in the petri dishes of fruit juices while trying to germinate seeds.
