Tupperware tek questions (pics)
    #21059688 - 01/03/15 07:52 AM (10 years, 16 days ago)



I'm trying out these plastic glad tupperware containers for a pf run. I think I messed up the moisture content when i steamed them for 90 min, i think i didn't wrap the foil tight enough- at least i know i could have made it tighter. I just put tiny holes for GE didn't use tyvek, pollyfill or a self healing port. I do have pollyfill though i just would rather use the four tiny holes instead. Does anyone have experience using these plastic containers with four holes for GE. I decided to innoc with a syringe i made anyways to see how it goes although i don't have high hopes.

one of the containers was innoced with a questionable syringe that had a large mass of spores in it clumped together, you can see it in the pic its Albino A+.. Anyways I have more tupperware ready to fix whatever may be wrong with this particular try.

I opened up two just to see how the moisture on the inside was and the dry verm layer seemed to be okay, but i noticed what more visible condensation on the sides and top so i'm a bit worried.

I really want to make this tupperware tek work so any advice or links would be greatly appreciatied.

BumP* Funny how there's always lots of feedback when people are asking really dumb questions but i'm surprised there's been no response yet. Whatever, time will tell...

Never open your jars. Bad idea. :thumbdown:

I don't see anything that worries me in those pics and I don't understand your problem.
Those spores were probably already germinated inside the syringe, that's why they were clumped together. It's not a bad thing per se (you should have faster colonization), but it's a waste of good spores. You used like 1000x the amount needed to inoculate a jar.

Let those jars sit and stop messing around with them.

never did the tuppaware tek but for agar (eazy no pour tek) . i know water can get pretty eazy in those . you need a ball of paper towel between the lid and the aliminum cover also I suggest to fully cover the tuppaware with aluminium foil not just the lid .

Opening jars before its 100% always is a no no  . how much time since innoc ?

LOL it came out all at once it was trippy to watch. I'm not worried about wasting syringes bc I've got lots atm and a few prints. I'm glad that you aren't worried. I threw out the ones I opened, obviously wasn't going to take any chances.

Paper towel is a good idea, I'm guessing that would absorb any moisture that got threw the foil? I did wrap the whole containers but didn't make it as tight as I could have I'm going to do another trial run with another batch and modify make wrapping, also will try the paper towel. The tupperwares were innoced 1-2 days ago.

just an update, all of these ended up colonizing fine. although when i tried to re-use them they all contamed. But this was likely an error on my part somewhere along the line.
