Can i use micro-pore tape instead of Tyvek

#25431305 - 09/03/18 03:28 AM (4 years, 5 months ago)

just curious if I taped pieces together to be big enough to go over the jar if it would work the same as using tyvek . Doing WBS Tek

You don't need to cover the whole jar. I think people do that with tyvek because it has no adhesive. If you only have micropore tape use multiple layers to cover the holes in the lids.

I punch a dime-sized hole in my jar lids and stick a double layer of micropore tape over it. Works great.

Try to get tek lids made tho, your life will be so much easier. I recommend synthetic filter discs cut to small pieces as your gas exchange port, and then a self healing injection port opposite side to the filter, both attached to plastic wide mouth canning lids via rtv. That's my current build n it works great

Fuck injection ports. Grow from agar.

I agree but in the event one decides to do MS to grain it's nice to have the versatility at no detriment to anything. I like to do some MS straight to grain to compare colonization rates. I've had quite a few syringes out do agar transfers. Not to mention the availability of LC. I can't stand poly in lids, either.
