Spore Syringes

So, the spores in my syringes clump up after being stored for awhile. Whats the best way to break them up? My last two jars i sucked unsterile air in them and shook them up. which i now realize is a no-no. Then again my jars dont have an contams yet.. Whats the best way to get sterile air in my syringe? Also, if i dont use all of the spore solution in my syringe should i take the needle off and cap it, or just cap the needle? Also you think that syringe is gonna be fine or is it not even worth using anymore? Thanks

I just bought 3 syringes, and my PF Classic was all clumped up.

u can hold the tip of the syringe in a flame and slowly draw air in. then shake until clumps break up.

Alright this is what i was thinking. What about storage after use anyone? Cap or capped needle? And is my syringe still good after having unsterile air in it?

its hard to say if the unsterile air contaimed the syringe, u can test it on petri dishes or a test batch of pf jars. you will just have to watch for contams and hope for the best.

Alright, i got all of the unsterile air out and used a alcohol flame to draw some air in/resterilized the needle with some alcohol and put the needle cap on. I store them needle side up so they shouldn't leak. If it comes down to it i can always use a cap from my half pint cake to make a print.. It'd just kill me to throw 9 cc's of dark soution away. Anyways, we'll see. Thanks.
