Dope, good luck! For the record it looks like you have a lot of spores on that dish, probably more than necessary. No need to waste so much. Feel free to post here if you need any help.

That sucked. Bacteria after 48 hours.
Going to make a syrgine from the print. Any advice before I do?

I'd stick with agar.... if you simply must go syringe just use the search and look up "making syringe" check off trusted cultivators and look newer than 5 years. Good luck Dick

You could go print syringe agar and clean it up from there

I've inoculated a few agar dishes with spore syringes too. To make a syringe it's pretty easy.
Follow the Sterile syringe tek. Put the sterile syringe after its cooled down into your still air box (SAB). An SAB is just a box with holes in it for arms. Put a shot glass and your print in there, too. Spray the inside with Lysol, and let sit for 5-10 minutes. Put on some latex gloves, alcohol them. Alcohol the outside of your syringe, and wipe down the entire shot glass with alcohol. Flame sterilize the needle. Scrape some spores from the print into the shot glass using a scalpel or whatever (make sure to flame sterilize). Spray the water from the syringe into it, then aspirate. Spray out again, and do this a few times to break up the spores. Finally aspirate it again and cap.
If you need more detailed instructions I can provide them later today. I'm on mobile right now, so it's irritating to type too much.

The bacteria was just around the place I used the loop on. I Presser cooked the loop I used and flame sterilized before using. I cooled it in the agar before scrapping off some spores. Treating the spores with alcohol a good idea? Syringe to agar is the plan

no
click the link in my signature, then click the agar link, then click the first one there.
you can find my pictures of how I put spores on to agar.

You don't need to PC a loop, just flame sterilize. Anyway, if you're having issues with bacteria going from print to plate, you're going to have major bacteria/contamination issues making a syringe and then going to plate. The whole idea is just silly to me...why introduce more vectors for contamination? You might try to post up a decent pic of your plate with contamination...it might not be totally toast...

No this kills the spore.

At first it was hard for me to get my sterile technique down...you gotta make sure your hand is not above agar when working..keep at it, you'll be much happier with results and save materials in the long run...

Yikes...definitely looks like it came in with the spores. Mind describing what exactly you're doing and where the print came from? Would appear to be super dirty.
