Syringe somewhat cloudy after steralization

This is my first time trying to make my own spore syringes. I have used syringes which I've chose to sterilize. I boiled tap water for 10 minutes. Used isopropyl on the inside of the plunger to steralize it. After the water boiled for 10 minutes I sucked up the boiling water, waited a minute and expelled it into the sink. I noticed that the syringes werent being filled completely and I think this was due to the water boiling? I did this 4 times then turned the stove down so the water was no longer boiling and absorbed my full 10+cc of sterilized water.
My syringes have been sitting for about 30 minutes and when I hold them up to the light they are not completely transparent. Almost like a white/transparent fluid floating around in the syringe. You have to look pretty hard to notice anything in there moving. Definitely not as easy to see as spores. Is this just the water? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like stuff in your tap water. I wouldn't worry.

When the water is boiling during your steralization are you supposed to be able to take in a 10+cc pull of boiling water or does the pressure always expel some out?

Go very slowly and you'll get it mostly filled. The expel the air and finish. Repeat if necessary.

when i put mine in boiling waterr i just pull n hold, even when you pull air up, the syringe will fill itself tight then i just turn it upside down watching out for a quick squirt and cap it

I went back through and did it with distilled water. And made sure to go extremely slow. 10+cc syringes with no cloudiness. Once the spores drop I need to let them dry out for a day or so right? Then get them in the syringe and wait a few days to rehydrate correct? Thanks, I just want to make sure I'm on track as much as I can be

If you're using the whole print for syringes, use them as soon as you pull the cap off. If you want to use part of the print and save the rest, let them dry for a good 12 hours or so.
You shouldn't really have to worry about rehydrating them when they're that fresh.

Ok, I appreciate it! As soon as the cap drops spores I'll get them in the syringe the proper way. So the only point of letting the spores dry out is when you plan on keeping a print for a few days/weeks? So it's not necessary at all to let them dry out when a print is fresh?
