I'm guessing this isn't PIO myc, but look at that great c10 pattern! :awesomenod:

:awesomenod:

It's the same color as the agar or it's raised agar. And it's shiny...
Agar is; 10g 2% Telephone Agar, 7.5g 1.5% LME, 500mL 50% Oat broth, Red 5 drops

Are these blobs or pins? Would it be worth anything to clone, or will it just make blobs if I do?

Does anyone have any ideas for my scalpel handles? They get way too hot in my bacti-cinerator. I was thinking of finding some silicone tubing or something. Anyone want to save me the frustration of trial and error?

Been wondering the same. Just looking on amazon and there are things to try.

Those look like primordia which can turn into pins. To continue growth and not risk them dying and rotting, I'd take from a section of agar where those aren't.

I stopped using my bacti-cinerator after buying 10 scalpel handles. . .

Set up 10 blades on handles. . . Wrap each in a foil pouch. . . PC standing in a jar. . .

Now to whole handle is sterile. . . Cheap aliexpress handles are fine. . .

They can be used months after being sterilised if stored proper. . .

I really dig this picture, is there a way I can copy it to my Gallery?

If I can't stop infecting fresh plates, I might try that but...
What kind of handles are you talking about? I'm using X-Actos (2).
I'm suspicious of the knurling on the handle being hard to keep free of contams.

I use #7 scalpel handles and they are perfect.

I used to use exacto but those handles get hot and retain heat like crazy. Making the switch to scalpels was like night and day.

I too was worried about the texture on the exacto handle, so I pcd them in foil packs like Bobbitt, and only used for one session before getting sterilized again. An that worked fine.

But, make the switch to actual scalpels and you certainly won't regret it

Thanks One of Us for the quick comeback. I know c10 has very particular scalpels.
Mebbe if I dare try, I could start a thread with a survey and peeps could weigh in with their favs.

On the other hand, there's a hella lotta stuff in search for scalpel...

Oh, and then it gets deeper with Vendor sponsers...

Well two popular ones, both available same place (FP) but I don't see it listed in Vendors.
One is Stamets fav and another is a one pieces spear which RR said one piece scalpels get too hot. :shrug:

:shrug:

I dunno what the fascination is with knives, but I just had to order the Stamets one!
Woo hoo, mailman, mailman, don't be late...

I think so too. I get very similar growth off of the clones I've taken. But the disorganization makes me think mold.
