Im looking for disposable alternative for magenta boxes. Im cultivating wheat and tired of washing tubes and jars all the time. What brands/suppliers are the best? Does material container maid of affect regeneration of plants?
I would suggest GrowTek Vessels and available from many global suppliers. Here is the Inventor/ product: http://plant-biotechnology.tripod.com/ssi/growtek.html and here is the Youtube video showing utility and ease of use/ maintenance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNe9TpiR7Qo. Please contact: professor Satyahari Dey, IIT Kharagpur for any other information at: [email protected].

I have used them profusely, and never had issues with material's effects on plant growth/ regeneration. Moreover, you avoid using agar, and no need to wash jars at all!!!
Check price and stock of fluorocarbon film vessels of Daikin, CP or Culture Pack brands, http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-642-76415-8_13#page-1
you can use disposable cups or glasses, if you have to grow the plant up to seedling stage, after that yo need to transfer them into pots. these are cheap as well as easy to handle.
Disposable glass wares are the best. Actually you will not be able to use the plastic one as hot media has to pore in it and you have to autoclave the tubes.
