Spore Print to Spore Syringe Transfer Kit: The First Step to Mycology: Please watch our instructional video
This kit is your gateway to exploring the fascinating world of mycology.
Kit Overview
This kit allows you to:
– Create 5 spore syringes from your spore print.
– Test for contamination in the spore syringes you create
– This kit makes it easy to inoculate a grain bag.
-Kit helps you hydrate old spores
-the kit also helps you kill all bacteria in your spore syringe
What This Kit Includes
– 50ml sterile container ( to mix antibacterial water and spore print)
– 70% Isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle (to sanitize the work area)
– 5 MEA biodegradable agar cups (for testing)
– 5 sterile syringes (to fill spore syringe)
– 10 sterile needles (5 to fill syringe and 5 to inoculate grain bags)
– 5 x 10ml antibacterial sterile water (to mix with the spore print in a container)
What This Kit Does Not Include
– Gloves
– Mask
– Scalpel
– Spore print
– Pre-sterilized rye or millet grain bag
Step-by-Step Process
- Empty the contents of the antibacterial syringe you receive into the container, and using a scalpel, scrape the spores into the sterile container.
- Using a fresh syringe and needle, you will then proceed to fill your syringes.
- Store the spore syringe in the fridge inside a zip-lock bag.
- Test them with the provided agar cup 5 days before inoculation.
There are few technicalities therefore we recommend watching our instructional video on how to convert your spore print into a spore syringe.
To minimize contamination risks, it is a good idea to perform all procedures in front of a laminar flow hood or a still air box.
