Sterilizing SFDs after use on a contaminated jar
    #18894759 - 09/26/13 04:05 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Lets say someone has a jar that is colonizing with the desired fungi species. It could be a grain jar or one of those no-pour wide-mouth 1/4 pint agar jars that TransendingLife makes. Both of those could use a whole (uncut) SFD as a GE filter.

Now lets say that the jar gets a contamination and the substrate (or media) is fucked. Now we know that the glass jar can be sterilized with several bleach baths and finally a 1 hour cycle in a PC or autoclave, but what are the options with the whole SFD that was used for the jar that became contaminated?

You can't just throw the SFDs in a bleach bath, or could you? And no one wants to throw out an SFD. So would it be a viable option to take a clean quart jar, stuff it with the "contaminated" SFDs, place a filtered lid on the jar and then PC or autoclave it? Would the SFDs be safe to use again or should an SFD that experienced a contam be thrown out?

FYI I am asking specifically about whole, uncut SFDs. Not quarter-sized SFDs that were cut and aren't whole.

TL;DR How would you go about sterilizing an SFD for reuse after that SFD was on a jar that became contaminated.

Just use it again. No need to clean it. It'll be sterilized in your PC.

:whathesaid:

If the PC sterilizes the grains how could it not sterilize the SFD :shrug:

This is also why I don't bother going all ape shit crazy about washing jars they only get rinsed after being used, anything that's left over is just more food for my myc.
