I am sort of a newbie but I would say put on some rubber gloves, sterilize them then clean up the mess, re-sterilize the bag and needle and the return to its original location...but im just a newbie.

Sounds like you got excited and had a premature inoculation... zing!
If you're super concerned and the needle was packed separately, you can check the tightness of the cap, wipe the syringe down with alcohol, make sure it's dry (no liquid outside or near the cap), and put it in a new bag for storage. Don't go crazy and PC/boil it or anything like that. You can re-wipe and begin normal sterile procedure when you're ready to start your microscopy. If you want to go the extra mile and work on your sterile procedure skills, do it inside a glovebox with all your gear.
I often use and store different syringes for my edible cultures and haven't experienced any issues with similar methods. i hope that helps and that your syringe isn't faulty/leaky. Good luck to you!

Well , it had the needle put on.As i told before , the leak was like 0.3 ml from the syringe , it's a little liquid inside the needle and also small drops in the bag where the syringe is. I think i will open it , wipe out everything from there with sanitary alcohol , let it dry and throw the needle ( i have more sterile needles ).

Why throw the needle away? It's fine? You're gonna flame it before you use it anyway. Just clean up the mess and call it good.

didnt realize i couldnt comment on what else someone said...my bad...
you have already gotten loads of answers, wipe it down and either put in in a new bag or clean out the other one. there is no need to throw the syringe away over .3ml coming out of the syringe. like galaxie said your going to flame sterilize the needle (which takes care of the liquid inside it) so i dont see what the problem is

Just make sure you don't pull the plunger back, you will pull non sterile air into the syringe. If you do pull it back however make sure the needle tip is in a flame when you do.
And it should be fine, it was just an open needle? No plastic cap covering the needle?

I think he means that the safety (the plastic piece that protects the needle) has some of the fluid in it. But, who knows.

Just leave it alone until you're ready to use it.....a few drops in the cap won't hurt anything.

It's not really gonna hurt anything, flaming it takes care of any possible contaminates quick. I'm sure if I checked my syringes a couple have some drops in the caps, it's not really something to concern yourself with too much.
If you're really worried, boil a little water and throw the cap in there, let it sit for a few minutes. You'll be golden to reuse it.
Toss the bag and use something new... The place I order my spores from has these little mailer boxes, I just wrap my partials up in plastic wrap and throw them in there and stash it in the fridge.

WIth any luck you won't have bacteria make it's way into the syringe.
And try to relax in regards to the occasional side posting-- It's not like Aaron8001 hijacked your thread. He was just laughing it up. It's good to have a little fun and not take things too seriously. Besides, it totally made my day that such a lame joke was well received.
cheers!

As long as you didn't suck up any non sterile air, you should be good.
Idk who you purchased those off of, but so far my sponsor purchases came with a syringe cap so this doesn't happen.
You didn't lose much anyways. Good luck to you!
