Accidentally removed plunger from MS syringe.... 2

First time doing this, I received my syringe this morning. The vendor taped the handle/plunger to the rest of the syringe to avoid leakage and such during shipping I presume, I have no clue whether this is common practice or not. As I was getting the tape off, I accidentally pulled on the plunger, I was under the assumption there would be a stopper to prevent this. Unfortunately the plunger did come off for 2-3 seconds before my brain registered the massive fuck up that had taken place, I immediately placed it back after.
What is the likelihood that this syringe is fucked? Should I just throw it away and order a new one? Perhaps it's still worth trying it?
Thanks

Hey, I haven't received them with tape on but I guess each packages differently.
Where you in a clean room with no gusty winds(no breeze).
Unless you were stood outside with air blowing around it should be alright and it's probably contaminated to begin with anyway most syringes are.
Id still use it on some Brf cakes.

I was in the middle of my room with no fans on except for a laptop running and the door open iirc. I try to keep this room clean but even then, dust just builds up like crazy in here. I just read that syringes are not axenic in the first place and as you said, some level of contaminants is acceptable. So that does make me hopeful that the syringe is still usable, with any bit of luck. I will definitely give it a shot and see what comes out of it, thanks.

Just an update for anyone possibly stumbling upon this thread in the future.
I successfully grew some clean spawn with this syringe. In the end I had slightly more contam than success, but I still managed to get a beautiful harvest which yielded 1 oz dry from about 500g of spawn. The removal of the plunger may have had a bit of an impact, but overall it's still possible to come out a winner. I also transferred some of my good spawn with G2G to turn just 5-10g into nearly 1.5 KG!!

You probably contaminated it a bit, but spore syringes usually start out contaminated a bit. Don't throw it away.
