What kind of tape for Jar hole?
    #18713587 - 08/16/13 08:43 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

I want extra protection from contams so I thought it might be a good idea to just stick a bit of tape over the jar's hole when im going to inoculate... so my syringe goes straight through the tape and into the substrate. Is this a good idea?and if so will any kind of tape work? Obviously the tape will also be in pasteurized with the jar itself so something that wont melt corrode and introduce those chemicals in tape into my jars?

The only tape I would use is micro pore, even then I think it unnecessary.

Micropore tape is ideal but I have heard of some people using masking tape with success.

I take it your doing pf tek...

The dry layer of vermiculite acts as a filter. Tape over holes constricts GE, needed for colonization.

When you inoculate it will put a hole in the tape.

Don't cover the holes with tape or anything.
