Problem with Petri dish?

So I forgot to place my Petri upside down and moisture formed on the lid. I was able to put it upside down before any dripped onto the dish. Am I safe to continue my project? Can I switch out the lids?

    if it was just 10 mins or so after you have plated (unto 30 mins) no problem at all..

    as long as you don't mix your bacteria once the colonies form..

    and yes, you can switch the lids so you don't get drops on your colonies..

    Source(s): i must have done thousands of plates..
