Dear Friends
I see that many people use plastic boxes for plant micropropagation. Can you please let me know the type of plastic these boxes have to be made of and the method on their sterilization
Thanks all in advance
I use Microbox containers, the autoclavable ones.
You can find all information here

You should be careful releasing slowly the steam after the sterilization.

1. Because MegentaTM boxes can be re-used many times, so actually it won't cost much if you think this way.
2. Can the plastic box in your attached picture be re-used or autoclaved?
By the way, Sigma sells MegentaTM boxes. According to its website, if you buy 25 boxes, it is $5 (US) each, if you buy 100 boxes, it costs $3.68 each.

Sigma's product is usually more expensive. I bought quit a few stuff from this company: BioWorld. I just went online and checked out their products. They also sell MegentaTM boxes. They are selling them for $2.2/box, if you purchase 100 boxes.

@ Ricardo Julian Licea-Moreno,
How much is the Microbox, each piece?
It says they can be re-used 7-10 times. How many times you think you can re-use them? It is good that they have those filters to promote air exchange.
Magenta boxes are common and autoclavable. There are magenta boxes with a cap that allows ventilation
Dear Yau, I began to use Microbox more than 3 years before. I can't say exactly how many times I have autoclaved them (an average of 8 times per year, so the firsts probably have been used more than 15 times) but I can assure that I don't faced any problem untill now.
Dear Ricardo, thanks for your information. Look like the 'filters' on the Microbox are quite good for resistance to autoclave.
