A few questions about my needles
    #19327764 - 12/26/13 06:24 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

A few questions about my needles:

I have bought most of my gear off of amazon. I am using these needles:
http://www.amazon.com/Dispensing-Needle-Blunt-Tip-1-1/dp/B001QRZ31C/

Are these suitable for BRF PF-tek?
How do I go about sterilizing these needles?

I am making my own spore syringes from spore prints from a reputable sponsor from these boards. I do not have a syringe cap, is that bad? Can I do without them or are the necessary?

The reason I am asking these questions is because I had made 2 attempts at growing and both times have had every single jar contaminate, so I am re-evaluating my tools and setup. I believe that I have contaminated my syringes. I probably will ask more related questions as time progresses toward my 3rd attempt at a grow.

when first starting out its best to just buy a sterile spore syringe from the sponsors.

But you can sterilize those by pressure cooking them. For it to contain sterile water, boil the water at least 15 minutes then wash syringe with it and fill it up a final time.

Caps would help, I am not sure if you NEED them.

you have a pressure cooker right?

I am at a location where I do not/cannot obtain a spore syringe (I would love to).

I have an All-American Pressure Cooker. That thing is a beast. I wish I could directly PC the syringes but I have Terumo brand syrnges and have read that they will warp in the cooker.

For this thread and for the moment I am just evaluating my syringes and needles. I will probably get more specific as my plan for this 3rd attempt matures.

EDIT: So it is safe for me to PC those needles? Alright!

Just try a few, you will know fast enough.
Why didn't you buy normal injection needles? They are sterile and come with caps.

I agree with monoculture.  Just get some 15ga x 1" needles.  They come steripacked and capped, ready to assemble to your sterile syringes (your syringes did come steripacked, didn't they?)

Those non-sterile blunt tips are really meant for industrial filling operations on packaging equipment used with non-sterile liquid dispensing to small containers.

just get 16g or 18g sterile hypodermic needles 1.5inch or longer is better

with blunt needles u might have a hard time getting through silicone ports and stuff
