Butyl, silicon, rubber stoppers as injection/withdrawal ports for long term and short term storage
    #27799757 - 05/31/22 03:31 AM (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hi everyone.

So after playing with silicone injection ports and all the mess around it, i decided to switch for injection ports/stoppers.

Now i need them for:

-Long term suspended mycelium storage in sterile destilled water - for years.

-Short term usage for jar injection ports and similar applications.

Which materials are best to use? Am i good with butyl stoppers? Which material is most self-healing? I've seen silicone is superior, but is there really much difference?

I ordered some vials with stoppers from aliexpress, not sure which material, i assume its butyl. I am still learning to properly inject, although i have noticed that after puncture some water wanted to escape through the hole made with needle(16g i think), but not on all stoppers, trail and error and stuff.

I need to order more stoppers for vials, so i thought i'd better ask here to get more experienced answers.

Its best if i can use same stoppers for both applications.

Does it really matter which ones, since i ordered parafilm to seal those vials and i have aluminim caps for vials, but without crimp tool, however it can be "crimped" pretty thightly by hand so it doesn't move or turn.

Looking forward for some opinions.
