So does that mean you just poke through the tyvek and that's it?  no tape or anything?  I haven't tried tyvek but I assume it would leave a hole.




You would definitely use micropore over the hole if you were to inoculate through it.



Ok, that's what I thought originally, BUT, there would be a gap between your tyvek needle hole and the tape right?  Because the metal lid is in between the two.  Therefore, something could go through the OTHER metal hole, travel across the TOP of the tyvek lid UNDER the metal lid, and go through the tyvek needle hole.  Right?  How would you prevent this?

Its nothin so significant  to worry about. What does it matter since we have already shown that micropore tape is a good barrier on its own?

Captain you are missin it man, so I made you an illustration....  The needle makes an obvious hole, and leaves a path for contams, despite the placement of the tape on the inoc. site.

I think what captain was trying to say is that you're starting to split hairs. Of course there will be a lil hole for 2 sec. til you can put another piece of tape over it but its inevitable. Thats why he said it was nothing so significant to worry about. However, you can go buy some high temp. silicone and make your own self-sealing injection port. Problem solved.

I get what you're saying. It's not the injection hole with tape over it, it's the other hole that they can enter though, go between the lid and tyvek, then through the injection hole. Like the drawing.

exactly.  you aren't ACTUALLY putting tape on the tyvek, just on the metal ABOVE the tyvek.

There's nothing you can do about it.......period. The only thing you can do is avoid it by finding someone that sells the lids with injection ports in them or make your own. Its not that big of a deal. People have had this happen for years and years. Just be careful and as sterile as possible and you'll be fine.

If you put the tyvek over the lid, then you can completely seal the opening.

No, you are putting the micropore on the hole in the tyvek. The micropore isn't rigid. when you apply the tape it would have a concave shape with the center sticking to and around the hole while the edges would be slightly raised and sticking to the lid. Thanks for the diagram. I had no clue what you were talking about before :tongue: The chances of what you're talking about happening are slim. I've never had that happen to me before and I've done that method more than a few times.

I have read a lot of FooMans posts and I am willing to bet that he has tons of experience. If this method didn't work, he probably wouldn't do it or recommend it. If it really bothers you about the gap, then cut your tyvek so it hangs a little past the ring and around the jar. Then when you go to inoculate, remove the band and lid (leaving just the filter). Inject through that and tape immediately afterwards right on the tyvek securing the hole. Put your lid back on and your golden. I think you are over analyzing, but that just my own opinion
