Re: Another run-in with contaminants on agar, where am I going wrong?! [Re: Intelligentxfruit]

Machine sterile is absolutely enough, I buy machine sterile agar plates and never had a contamn that I didn't cause.

Gamma-sterile of course is a bit better, but not necessary.

I buy my plates for 4 Euro / 20 pcs.


I wonder why the agar bottle is contaminating, I think it's just the bad filter/method. Have you bought some Borosilikat-Bottles like I told you in my first answer? :smile:

Good to know that machinesterile is good enough for mycology work. I have purchased some borosilicate bottles but I think I'll be doing no-pour for a while. I actually really like this method and the fact I can reuse the plates, even if visibility is very poor.

Gloves are fine but not needed..your hands should never be going over your work anyway.

I use a wet towel no need for the soap we use the soap for the rest of the sab.

Work with confidence.

Post pics of these contams..satellite contams often come from blade handles because you only flame the tip.

When you spray your sab your knocking down contams so no need to wait too long.





Do you PC your whole scalpel everytime?



I PCs a jar full of scalpels





Lmao should've figured who I was talking to but all ive got is Paul stamets favorite scalpel should I get a bunch a keep em sterilized at all times or can I keep my one scalpel and just wipe down with 71% and sterilize every other time?

Don't overcomplicate it :smile:

I sterilize my scalpel handle once every two weeks when sterilizing agar anyway :smile:

Wiping it with ISP like all the other stuff is enough. The blade itself is flam sterilized anyway and the only thing touching agar.

Try to learn not to go with the handle of the scalpel over open media unless it's necessary, then you should be fine with only wiping the handle + flame-sterilzing the blade :smile:

I've never sterilized a scalpel. Wipe with alcohol the blade gets flamed
