I don't feel any need for a clean room.  I barely have any contamination as is, and when I do, I usually am expecting it because of something I know I did incorrectly, or not with care.

I just spray a bit of Lysol around my room and inside my sab, let the air settle for about an hour, and go into that room with no moving air, and do my business.  When I'm doing clean work (inoculating, agar, transfers, etc) generally I'll try to do all those things all at once, so I'll consolidate my work in one small area of the room and make sure everything is quickly accessible to me, that way I'm not getting up constantly and kicking around air with potential contaminants in it.

I have a 95% success rate nearly with my methods.  If I were to clamp down on every clean step I could, and be really anal about it, I could get that up to 99% pretty easily.

It doesn't take a mad scientist lab and a degree in mycology to be really successful at this.  All you really need to do is practice the sterile tek steps that are most important, like using an SAB, letting air settle, flaming tools, using gloves...  just use common sense. 

In every cubic inch of air you breath, there are thousands of contaminants floating around.  The only way to get away from them it to literally let them settle out of the air, and inoculate when they aren't floating around.  (Aka inside your SAB after the air has settled.  It's common sense).

Is it truly 95%?  Of 89%?  I'm genuinely curious. And what do you base that on to get a percentage?
A lot of guys on here say the same thing and it never made sense. How does one figure the success rate?  Is it with tubs only?  Or jars and plates too?

:whathesaid:

I haven't gotten a contamination in a jar or in a clean agar transfer in a long while... I do exactly what mushierage does. :shrug:

The only time I get a contaminate is when I know I will.

"oops...dropped that wedge on the ground... eh... 5 second rule..."

I lost a 40 jar run of masters recently. Was in a hurry to get out and cut my cook time short.
Contamination is part of this game. You'll never not have any. Just doesn't work that way.
Mushierage, I'm a lysol fan too.

I didn't say if I spray it in the air or not.
Although, one would think it would certainly help particles in the air fall.
Don't hate cause you can't afford lysol

Your reply was to me though....
I do use it to wipe down the bottom of my fh. And I use lysol wipes to clean my masters before g2ging.
And I did use the lysol air shit when I had a still air box. And if I had to go back to a still air box, I would use it again

ah, reply fail confusion. how about some "common sense"? :P

but yeah surface disinfectants are great for disinfecting surfaces as you say. But spraying the room you set up your SAB in with lysol is a waste of lysol.

Better explanation heres what I keep in here still working on it gonna add shelving to the walls to let jars colonize, paper towel holder, flowhood etc. But here it.is so far

In a galaxy far far away...

I pulled the carpet out and laid down new, heavy duty linoleum flooring. Put heavy duty commercial rubber baseboards in. Painted the walls and ceiling with 2 coats of easy to wash flat white.

I had one clear tub for my clean surgical scrubs.
Another upright cabinet for larger supplies, and a couple of rolling carts with sliding drawers for smaller supplies like gloves, masks, syringes etc.. 

I had a table with the flow hood, and a separate 4ftX4ft space framed out in PVC pipe and covered in 6mil clear plastic sheeting as sort of an 'isolation' area. SAB, poured plates works in progress stayed in there, separate from the work/grow area. The idea being, if a tub contamed, it hopefully wouldn't be able to spread to the isolated mini clean room.

Big round Honeywell HEPA's on the floor ran 24/7 unless the flowhood was on.
Incoming AC vents were filtered.
A small dorm fridge in the room held samples.

OCD is a lifestyle, not a hobby. :smile:

Im asking more for the people who have a room for inoculation with a flowhood, stainless steel table and etc. Do you guys keep your clean spawn in there , do you keep substrate/spawn materials in there etc.




It's always best have a separate incubation area for spawn and sub, however I don't and does cause some issues, a room packed with sub get's super warm and running the hood makes it even warmer, and then it gets super hot when you are cooling sub or spawn in there.
I suggest if your designing a spot, keep in mind an incubation area as well that is not in your lab.
Here is a kind of 360 view of my lab/incubation area
