Best Syringes?
    #24269323 - 04/24/17 08:21 PM (7 years, 8 months ago)

Hey, I've recently started printing and making my own syringes. I know someone is going to say do agar, but baby steps okay. I'm still on syringes and BRF.

Anyways, my question is a two parter. What gauge of needle to ya'll recommend? 14 to 18g seems to be what people are using, but I'm not sure what the common belief is for prints. Is blunt tip okay?

Biggest question I have:
Is there a reason everyone seems to use 10cc? I mean if I'm using one print can I not just use a 30cc syringe and cut down on using three syringes?

I've been using these sterile 5mm chinese syringes (unknown needle gauge) that I ordered online, just because I already had them in the house. They've worked, haven't even had to sterilize them but 5cc is just a hassle.

Answer to biggest question: Yes. You can use whatever size you like.

10 is most common because it's bigger than 5 and it's not unwieldy to use in a tight space. I personally like 20ml for LC's because it holds more and I can just store it.

Far as needle guage, it doesn't matter really unless you're dealing with LC because it can get thick and cloudy and you need a bigger guage to suck it up without getting clogged. 

For spore work only, smaller needle is just fine.

As far as blunt or sharp?  Again... Your preference. I prefer sharp myself just because blunt can be annoying (very minorly) to have to 'jam' through micro pore tape or RTV/Silicone injection ports. Just depends on your usual gear but I'd say go for sharp.
