Does anyone have any info on how commercial syringes for strains that don't print are made, like PE and APE?

put a sterilized swab into a sterilized jar with a ship and ge port. Aspirate that. Wanna be fancy add a drop of glycerin. I think munchauzen was gonna make a video on making syringes if i recall correctly

I wouldnt use a lid with a ge port since your gonna want to shake tf out of it.
Id use a long needle to suck em up after they settle, so use like a haft pint so it can reach.

Spores are very dense compared to the mushroom tissue, bacteria and other impurities, so they separate nicely into a pellet at the bottom of the vial. Remove the top layer and repeat with a few more washings and centrifuging and you have nearly pure spores when you are done. This is dried and used as needed.
It is somewhat complicated and not practical for the home experimenter but it does scale up well for the production of commercial quantities of PE spores. This method can also be used with regular cubensis caps after normal printing. There are a surprisingly large amount of spores clinging to gills.

Thankyou for digging this up, I had not read that before. I always assumed they came from the occaisional "normal" looking fruits that pe sometimes puts out.

OK that is interesting about the centrifuge. So they take totally dried caps and crush them into some water and put that mixture into a centrifuge tube? What is the wetting agent, jetdry? I wonder how much water to crushed caps goes in the centrifuge tubes.

could be anything there's lots of wetting agents, you can get anything you desire. dish soap is one example of one. so is jet dry.
doesn't matter how much water. it's getting removed later anyway, use enough or more.
theoretically the PE spores should be cleanest lol

I'm guessing that the crushed caps and water mixture can't be much more than just "moistened" or it wouldn't stay separated very well after the centrifuge.

Didn't someone once post using sterile water syringes to squirt the spores strait from the fresh cap into a container?
I heard centrifuge as well but do wonder if they used dried caps or if that is too much material.

No, never used a centrifuge but I see there are some really cheap ones available. Do you think the little $50 4000rpm units would do the job?

For those of us without a 3-D printer...
How do y'all think the spores are dried? Just remove the supernatant and the non-spore bits and leave in the centrifuge tube to dry under a flowhood? Similar to an RNA pellet?
I'd like to try this with my next rounds of prints. Any info on size and Gs needed from workman bod?
I would imagine spinning in 50 mL falcon tubes would be more efficient (It would be a PITA to add the crushed caps to 1.5 mL tubes). but I know some centrifuge inserts have a max rpm of like 4200...
Curious how easy the washing/removing the cap material is from the spore pellet. Also I wonder spore number per uL after centrifugation (or by weight of the pellet...) Sorry rambling now!

I mentioned this before, but since it isn't in my original post, it often doesn't get added.
You don't put the chunks of mushroom tissue in the centrifuge. You strain out the large pieces with a screen (paint strainer works nicely) adding additional water to wash off any clinging spores. Allow the spore laden wash water to settle for 10 minutes or so (clear glass vessel recommended) and carefully pour off the top water until you see you are starting to lose spores, then add the remaining solution to the tubes for spinning.

If you have some pics or a video of the process, I bet a lot of people would like to see it. This is really fascinating. Just sayin

Maybe I should try this with APE. I'd love to get a pure spore sample and see the proportion of albino to wild type spores.
I got a bunch of dried fruits, so I would crush the caps in some water and then strain through a 22 uM filter into a centrifuge tube. Then spin that to pellet the spores? Then wash the pellet a few times.
Not sure if going to 22 microns with all of the cap material would be viable or not.
What is the wetting agent you are adding workman, is it some sort of detergent like Tween-20 or Triton X-100 to help dissociate the spores?

Asura I'm not sure yet, I found I few 3d printable centrifuges but to be honest i don't know if I trust printed abs plastic whipping around at thousands of RPM's so I might go with solid plastic or aluminium. I'm still doing some research so if anyone comes across anything interesting please post a link.
I found plans for a centrifuge using a rheostat, ESC and a brushless motor and if you wanted to get real fancy theres some coding for a arduino but that has a max rpm of 3-4k and I'm not sure if it could handle the large tubes I have. We will see in the near future

Okay i decided to go with the smaller centrifuge tubes, the larger ones are just too large, i think the smaller ones will be easier to manage. I have a few things to tighten up in the garage before i can break out my 3D printer. I opt'ed to go with a 3D printed centrifuge built with a old hard drive.
1.5ml tubes It's going to look something like this. People are ripping the hard drives all apart and programming with an arduino, I am not going that fancy for my first one. My plan is to make it on or off (7200rpm) with the existing board for now, then maybe down the road make it more fancy. Either way this should be fun. After i bought the centrifuge tubes I realized that they are not autoclavable and they do not come sterilized, will that be an issue?
Also should there be a new thread for this or is okay to keep going on this one?

Guys... look into something called a dremelfuge. They hold 6 x 3ml tubes, but are easy to print on a 3D printer, and they attach easily and cheaply to a dremel.
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1483 https://github.com/cathalgarvey/dremelfuge
Don't waste any time with the one with the chuck for drills. I tried it, it's total garbage. Got to be the one for the dremel.
if anyone prints me a few (they break! kinda dangerous...) I'll send you some centrifuge tubes for free. Best plastic is one that is very hard; softer plastics will stretch and cause wobbling issues which are less then ideal.
I want to play around with protoplast fusion, and a few processes, such as extracting the chitinase enzymes from snail guts, one of these are needed. If you can print one, I'd pay for it if it isn't ridiculously costly (like most 3D items are, not going to pay $50 to get a plastic item when I can get a used centrifuge that is even better for a bit more).

I saw the dremelfuge before, definitely a simple approach but i would like something I don't have to hold as its ripping around at 10's of thousands of rpms haha. I would feel more comfortable if it blew up somewhere else other then my hand.
Burbles, is this the exact one you want? https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1483
if you don't mind waiting a couple of weeks i can print it for you. I haven't ran the 3D printing in over a year so it needs a really good tune up and re calibrating, so its going to be some time before its up and running good again, plus all the shit i have to clean up in the garage.

Yes that is the correct one. I had one before, and its fine: just use a ring stand and a plastic bucket to attach the dremel onto it. Then you can plug it in far away for safety.
Super ghetto science equiptment, but it works and it is cheap. In fact, it works *really* well - IIRC at the max speed of the dremel, each gram has a weight of 50 lbs. it's like a super centrifuge. At that speed though, the plastic is *very* tempted to fall apart for obvious reasons.

Finally got around to breaking out the 3D printer just to find another set back. One of the linear bearing guides has started to break apart, I'm going to epoxy it back together and hopefully it will hold together long enough to print a replacement part. So once this is fixed i can hopefully get back on track and begin printing the centrifuge!

Why not go with the paper and string centrifuge I posted?
Wayyyyyy easier and safer and I think it would still work for separating spores from the supernatant

So i came across a Dremel drill press stand that i will just make out of scrap wood i have laying around. The string centrifuge is cool but i would like to be able to do multiple tubes at a time and be able to let it run with out me having to do any work. Again i hope i can get to my printer for real this time and get some shit done! Thanks for the input guys
Like i said I'm just going to build a very simplified version of this with some kind of enclosure just in case of failure.Dremel Drill Press Stand

Just found this.
I'm gonna try this when i find a small tube. I'll super-duper-duper-glue it to a BIG button. It'll be for 1 tube but realistically how often are you gonna use it?

Hello everybody long time! I just wanted to do an update, I did not abandon this project but I have ran into alot of personal isses that have kept me from it.
First I ran into a big health issue that held me up for a while than alot of things went wrong around the house. Finally getting back on track and hopefully start back up with tbis project.
I got the printer out just to find out it has alot of issues itself and need repair. I'm putting the printer on the backburner for now. I will continue by making the parts by hand. Yes I realize there are simpler ways to make this but I want to try it the way I have it envisioned in my head.
I started a new job so how I dont have access to lathes mills and waterjet anymore so the finished project may not be a pretty as I wanted it to be but hey its a proto type so fuck it.
I'm hoping to get a start on it soon and I will keep everyone posted on my new progress.

Iβm hoping to do a trial run with some normal cube spores, then try and get spores from dried APE caps. Summer is a little slower in the lab, so one evening Iβll bring my materials in and see what I can do. Hoping in the next month, but I will update with pics and my method if people are interested.
Good luck brother! Glad things are back on track, stay well.

these are cheap and might work with this project.? centrifuge tube adapter

https://www.labsupplyoutlaws.com/fisher-centrific-model-225-228-benchtop-centrifuge--tube-adapter.htm
EDIT - also wanted to add that the WD-HDD should have a few pins exposed for a jumper. that should turn on/off power save features for the disc spinup.

k5hd2yS hey thank you for the great tips! never even thought about those jumpers! that adapter is great but im too cheap haha.
Yes its a little retarded....alot of retarded right now, but until i can get my printer fixed or get my hand on real tools this going to have to make do for now. this is all made from crap just laying around.
i just really wanted to test out the electronic and get them to work, and they do! I have video but i don't think i can embed video on here? (if i can please let me know)I dont want to upload it to you tube.
anyways i think it will work just find for now. Please make comments i want to hear how to make it better and what/how to test first!!!
Well here she is the first proto type!
I call her the spore spinner 3000 V1.0 haha

Haha maybe!
So I was thinking about what water I should use to make these spore syringes. I'm not sure what I should go with. I can get de ionzed water from work or will distilled work just as well?
Hoping to do a test run here in a day or two. I do have a concern that the angle is not great enough for the centrifuge tubes, but like I said I'm going to do a test run and see what happens.
Ill keep you all posted and will probably send some syringes out for people to test to see what results they get.

I would use distilled or even regular tap that is PCed.
Good luck man!
How are you filtering? I plan to crush up some dried caps in water, then strain through cheesecloth, then strain through 22 uM filter into 1.5 mL tube (or 15 mL/50 mL conical depending on amount I get) for centrifugation. I will use PCed water to wash the spore pellet 2-3 X before putting to a syringe or drying on foil.

Distilled for syringes. You don't want spores to germinate then mycelium to lose vigor with nothing to eat.

Okay did a little test run today. Being it was a test i just used filtered water not distilled, and did everything out in the open, again just testing out the "prototype".
I cut chunks off of sad looking GT cap, submerged it in the water, then stirred it around. Then I took a small piece of a cotton ball and dropped it in the solution to act as a filter. That set up worked damn well, and sucked it up with a syringe. Cotton ball in the solution at the top about 11 o'clock position Syringe with filtered spore solution
Solution in vial For the centrifuge I re cut the holes to be on a steeper angle, if you look at the previous pictures you can see the liquid is more on the side of the vial verses the bottom(the pictures were taken as the centrifuge was spinning). I did a run at half speed for 5 minutes and this is the results!

  All in all this is really cool, I still have a ways to go and a lot to still research to do it properly. I'm still having issues with my 3D printer which really sucks, but when its up and running again I'm going to print out a nice enclosure to house everything. I do have a few questions, when I run a batch for real should I be doing everything in front of a flow hood? does the distilled water need to be sterilized and do I have to make a SHIP for the distilled water? I'm guessing I need to be a sterile as I can but I'll test out a few methods and see my results. Once I figure this stuff out I will need some volunteers to test this out for me, I will cover shipping as long as you post results.

Heck yea way to go john_conner, that's waht I'm talking about. I think starting with sterile water and doing as much as possible in front of a hood would be a good idea.

Its was kind of fresh but I will sure try a dried cap as well, though I don't know if the spores are viable once they are dehydrated might get too hot, maybe someone has the answer to that.

well I have the printer some what running still a few thinks to tweak, having the issue most people do with printing, shit peeling off the table. The part should still be usable but I'm going to try and fix the issue before printing anymore parts. I'll probably re print this part as well
 Does anyone know if shipping the gills contaning spores is a no go? I dont have any PE to test out here. Also has anyone by any chance found anymore out about what temps spores can handle?

I made up my first syringes today.
Took some B+ caps from January and put into a petridish with some autoclave dh2o. Broke up with a scalpel because I forgot to break them up before adding to the water (doh)
Moved things around a bunch. Forgot anything for straining so I drew the liquid right through a 22 uM filter into a syringe, got about 30 ml with 3 normal sized caps in there.
Put the filtered liquid into 50 mL comical and centrifuge at 4200 rpm for 10 min. Remove supernatant add 20 mL water. Vortex and the centrifuge as before. I did 3 of these washes.
Added 25 mL to final pellet. Vortex to resuspend and then aspirate into 2 10 mL syringes and cap. This concentration is not super dense, but enough spores such that they were visible:

I did this all in front of a flowhood or under a flame.
Not expecting it to be clean. Hoping for clean enough and for germination (these spores were dehydrated at 160F ~24 hours before packaging, then another 24 hours after 5 months storage). Putting some spores to agar tonight and later this week if those donβt germinate.
Iβll post results here.
If I works I may make up 4-6, 3 mL syringes of B+ if others want to test it out (especially interested in those going straight to grain or pf Tek as I am testing on agar.

How'd the cotton work for you?
Did you just put it in the water, then suck the water into the syringe through the cotton (eliminating some of the larger chunks)?
I might try this next time (I'm going to grind up like 5 g of B+ caps and do this a little more legit, make a bunch of small-medium syringes for giveaway) and sterilize the cotton before hand.
If things work out and I get germ on my plates, I am decapitating all my dried APE and seeing what I can get out of them. I want for crosses and to run generations/trades/giveawats and to see some albino spores, so I'll post a microscope pic later.

I'm probably talking out my arse here but could you not just rig up a small battery drill to act as a centrifuge? Most people these days have a drill at home for diy, then all you would need is maybe some threaded steel bar a few nuts and some kind of adapter like john_conners to hold the vials in place while spinning. I know it's not really set and forget but it could work, assuming the rpm is high enough.
Edit- Found this online, this looks a bit fancier than what I was imagining.

Fishermansjc-for filtering the slop of spores and mushroom debris it worked great. I haven't ran a test all the way through yet, I finally have my printer up and running properly so I'm focused on printng out all the centrifuge parts now. Once its done I will run a test all the way through.
Jado- I owe burbles a dremel fuge once I'm done printing my contraption I will print a few of those out, let me know if you want one.
Burbles- didn't forget about you, like I said once I'm done mine I will print you out that dremel fuge

It'd be wasted on me, I've no plans to grow PE just yet but thanks for the offer

An update on my end.
Of the 2 plates I tried with the spores taken from dried caps (2X at 160F actually) one got super bacterial and the other is showing no growth at all. I think the bacteria came in from shaking the plate later on and not from the syringe, as the other plate shows nothing at all.
I'll follow it a bit further; however, it seems that spores dried at 160F are not viable. I plan to dry some batches of fruit at a lower temp to see if I can keep the integrity of the spores but also dry the fruits properly. I was thinking 100F to start, any suggestions?

fishermansjc great work and thanks for the info! how did you wash the spore between each cycle? i was trying to think of the best way to do this.
I finally fished my centrifuge today hope to get a test run in asap.
 Still some polishing up to do but you get the point. Now i will start on the dremel fuges i promised and may go again at the hard drive centrifuge

After collecting them the first time through the 22 uM filter I spun them down. Then I used PCed water to wash them (I dumped the supernatant, then added 20 mL, I was doing this in a 50 mL centrifuge tube) by vortexing to break up the pellet. Then I spun down and removed super and repeated 3X. Then added 25 mL and drew up into the two syringes I posted.
Anyone know the thermal tolerance of cubensis spores?

I bet if you keep it under 110 on the dehydrator you will be good.

bry bry - thanks!
Did i quick test run today i wanted to see how lazy you can be with these things. All work was done in the open no flow hood, SAB or gloves, cleaned twice and ran for 3 min per cycle hopefully get them on agar tomorrow to see results!
had a handful of Martinique that went for too long so i just put the caps in distilled water and coarsely filtered through cheese cloth. I let it sit for an hour or so to let the spores settle to the bottom so i could get denser amount in each tube.

Well the first test run went pretty much as expected, all contaimed out, kind of knew that would happen but hey sometimes you get lucky.
 I ran into another issue, i believe my hepa module (fake flowhood) is a cause of alot of contaims, Ive been having massive issues latley, lost 5 out of 6 shoe boxes. the odd thing is that when i do agar dishes with the hepa module they come out fine, so i have to fine tune some things to figure out whats going on. Unless i can figure out how to do it in a SAB, which the centrifuge defeats the purpose of a SAB, Im kind of SOL, Im still going to try it though.   There are still three dremel fuges left up for grabs, Two drill chuck versions and one dremel version.  if you would like one. Heres the agar dishes with the first five spores syrgines that i ran
