Question about storing LCs in 30mL Luer-Lock syringes (and using up 6 cups of it)
    #10939954 - 08/26/09 06:21 AM (15 years, 4 months ago)

So I've just filled 14 30mL syringes with colonized liquid culture. The syringes are Luer-Lock tip type, but they did not come with the screw on caps. Right now I have them individually in the bags they came in, but these bags cannot be sealed because they are full and the plungers are extended outwards. Do I need to worry about the semi-open ends at the tip of the syringe letting in contams? If so, what can I do to seal it? I have some silicon gel leftover that I had used for the self-healing injection ports, should I put some of that on the tips?

Syringes are exactly like this except 30ml:


The "open tip" is circled.

Also, while I'm asking, after filling 14 syringes I still have approximately 6 cups of fine LC (I made a lot because I was experimenting with different sugar mixtures). I have more syringes but I can't imagine ever needing more than 420 ccs of live spores :rolleyes:, so I stopped at 14. It's probably still too hot to grow outside here in Florida for another month or two, and I live in an apartment complex anyway, so are they any good uses for indoors that could use 6 cups of this stuff besides the standing inoculating jars and making lc? Since I want to use it up, if I let WBS dry out pretty well and then used a lot of of LC per quart jar, say 10ccs, would that hypothetically grow any faster than using 2-3ccs?

I mean, I could just keep the rest of it as is, in jars in my frige, but I'd like to see you what guys say. :smile:

Fuck thats alot of LC.

They should be stored with a needle and cap and in a two sealed bags.

10mls no problems, i do it when i want balls to the walls fastness. just add a bit of verm to the well hydrated but dry WBS this soaks up excess liquid.

Thanks, badman. I'll definitely be trying that out.

I don't have any caps, they didn't come with my syringes. I'm wondering what to use instead of caps.

i suppose 2 layers of cling film could work.

That's what I ended up doing, 2 layers of cling wrap then put them in a sterile small little 5 qt locking plastic tub, wrapped that in cling wrap, and stuck it in the (relatively) clean frige. Hope it's good! :thumbup:
I've yet to encounter a contam so I'm hoping my luck doesn't run out on these. Still have the original spore syringes from Ralph's if they do though.  :shrug:

500th post :whoo:

Hell yeah Reuse the syringes by boiling in water (I PC them but most people don't). I put them in small oven bags, PC, seal the bag good as new

Keep the needle that will last years just flame up always. i also PC needles as well as flaming.

Try to have the same number if not more needles than syringes.

For the record if anyone has a similar problem in the future, the whole saran wrap idea failed pretty miserably.

I went to inoculate some WBS today to test them and I didn't even bother.. they stunk of CHEESE.  :puke:

I emptied them out, soaked them in bleach, and will boil them.

Also I ordered the syringe caps separately so I wont have to worry about this again.

Lesson: Make you order TIPS or CAPS with your luer locks!!!
