Spores not evenly distributed in syringe

I have recently got a spore syringe online for Ban Hua Thai Cubensis (an unorthodox strain for me but they were sold out of everything else.)
I have used this source before and they were legit, however this time the spores are very concentrated together in the syringe instead of evenly distributed. I am concerned that when I inject the fluid in to my jars some will not contain any spores where as 1 or 2 will get the bulk of them.
I have shaken the syringe to try and evenly distribute the spores but since there is no air within the syringe this isn't effective.
Has anyone encountered this before and is there an effective way of distributing the spores evenly?
Thanks!

If you shake it vigorously before you inject you'll be fine. You can't see individual spores with the naked eye, but when they're packed together like that they're easy to see.

it's probably charcoal anyway they add that to make the syringes look loaded with spores. very light spore syringes are IMO better anyway, like said above spores are invisible to the naked eye a syringe can be very dilute and still work well if not better. If you take a store bought syringe and squirt it into a sterile jar then add 90ml of sterile water then suck that back up into 10 syringes you just made yourself 9 extra spore syringes that will work just fine.

Good call
