Does a SAB need prep?
    #22291395 - 09/26/15 12:57 AM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Hey guys so I'm wondering, does a SAB need much prep before use? I've been using one for a while and have done varying things. But my question really is, do I need to wipe it down, or spray it before use?

Anyone with experience notice much of a difference in contamination rates? I'm talking about agar work and g2g and all that jazz.

Thanks guys.

You can wipe it down with stuff just as an extra measure of security, but it's not necessary. I prefer to spray Lysol in there beforehand, wipe it down, and then set it up. My setup steps include a towel on the bottom, soapy water sprayed all over (to make contaminants stick to the sides/ceiling) and more recently, spraying the towels so falling contaminants stick. Beyond that, it's just sterile technique.

There's lots of threads on this I think. Munch has an SAB preparation video.

Yeah basically just spray it done with soapy water until nice and moist. Put all your materials in, wait for the air to settle and carefully maneuver your hands inside the SAB. Remember, no fast movements, everything has to be done slow and mechanical. Also, the most important part, is don't let your hand hover over exposed plates when transferring. Contams will fall right into your jar/plate and then you're fucked. Practice makes perfect! :tongue2:

Practice everything without real instruments before you do it. If you're going to do a G2G, practice with empty jars and notice all of your mistakes.

This makes the act of doing it 100x easier and smoother.
