Dumb question but…obviously leave these cracked slightly while in the PC right? Didn’t see anything saying that.
No need to wrap in foil either?

This will come super in handy with the pink oysters I have since I’ve heard they’re finicky with refrigeration for long term storage. Thanks a bunch!

Yes, I've been prepping the vials of 1,8mm which contained a black silicon ring inside (transparant cap), however these 5ml ones with blue cap don't contain a silicone ring.. I'm a bit afraid they will leak on their sides, so keeping them upright at the moment. What is your experience with this? I was thinking about vacuum sealing them after adding a wedge.. but if they start leaking  on their sides, that is no good..

Cryovials can have a lip-seal, a silicon-seal or even both. So having one of a kind should totally suffice.

Oh boy. This is turning out way more complicated than I expected. Of course the sellers don't specify if the lids are made of the same material as the vial itself. I've seen one question about one product that asked this and the seller actually responded the lids are polystyrene 😬😬 Fuck me sideways. Don't wanna order 200 of these just for the lids to turn out Polystyrene.

Most of them are even so stupid to say the material is "plastic". I hope they all choke on dick one day.

I think the only good ones are the pack of 500 that say they're PP5 and come with the holder too.

I bought mine at a Lab store. Might be a bit pricier than over Amazon but they're made in Germany and high quality. Don't really trust these chinese offers ^^

Hahaha, I had the same pp5 filtering issue when shopping on aliexpress, after some digging purchased some, seem to work just fine. Checked the lids before-after for deformation or other defects.. couldn't detect it.. also the twisting action was not affected.. so crossing my finger it's 'good enough'

I also ran into a bit of the same ambiguity when buying the vials prior to making the writeup.  I think it has to do with a lot of the vendors being non-English speakers probably. In my experience these seem to be manufactured based on similar specs regardless of who the underlying vendor is, as though there is one schematic for this and most vendors just follow it.

I've bought the vials from two or three different vendors so far and I've found that as long as they have the logo/stamp "IMEC" they tend to be the right choice regardless of who the vendor is or how they describe it.  If you look at the sample pics in the writeup here or when searching for the vials, you can usually see this "IMEC" stamp on the vial.

Interesting, potentially very useful info! Thanks Myco! :hug: I've already ordered some from German Amazon so we'll see how that goes. Seems they really are PP so.. fingers crossed.

I've just placed first 5 cultures into the vials. Now starts the countdown :lol:

It was not hard but moving the tiny pieces into the vials is a bitch. Only 1 piece managed to fall off tho :rockon:

oh shit, i completely forgot about this thread but i’ve actually had some cultures in distilled storage for over a few months. i used quarter pint mason jars with rather large wedges for storage. put a culture in on 5/25/22 & put it  back on agar a few weeks ago & the myc grew out beautifully. i wanted to use quarter pints so that i could throw larger wedges in & also because i didn’t feel like waiting for vials to ship to me lol but they seem to work great. i just flip the lids they come with & run em stock

I thought someone posted something about fresh fruits in a other thread where he also stored like colonized paper in vials as well.
