I just wipe the box, surface, plates, jars, tools with iso.
Flamed scalpels and tweezers standing up in a small jar. No rack. I rarely get anything on the plates other than what I inoculated them with

pyrex media bottle?  hmm someone told me pyrex isnt what it once was. as in, not always actual borosilicate.  it really shouldnt break like that.

Thanks, I wasn’t sure if I was expecting too much from my jars or if I misunderstood how long to heat. I am getting a bit gun shy now, will have to order some more and will look for ones made in Germany. The first time I understand but 3 minutes in the microwave with the lid cracked seemed at odds with what Bid was saying and made me wonder if I just got some kind of knock off pyrex. Will try again, appreciate the insight!


Pyrex does not always refer to the same type of glass. Original Pyrex (pre 1998) was made  by Corning and made of borosilicate glass. Modern consumer Pyrex is made of soda-lime glass, and less resistant to thermal shock. Ignore "Pyrex" and look for borosilicate glass. Corning Still Makes lab quality PYREX. This is the real, old-school PYREX.

Here is my SAB setup. Towel down to create seal & prevent drafts. Handle holes taped up.The grate is about 2.5" off the bottom. Everything has been sprayed down with soapy water. The light is lifted away from the top of the tub. Arm holes are 5" diameter. Does this seem satisfactory?



Looks good. I like to have my arm holes a little bigger just for the sake of not bumping into them or scraping my arms on them in any way and not feeling restricted in the work.

I don't use the towel either. I don't do much for wiping or spraying anything in there either.

I mean I did at one time. Now I just keep it sealed up and clean when it's not in use and when I'm ready to use it I pull it out put it where I want unseal it and get to work. I will wipe down everything that I'm putting inside it with some iso.


As long as the air is still inside I'm not too worried. I'm more concerned about making sure I am clean and sanitized and my movements are slow and calculated.

But ya man that'll do just fine

Did you make the sides with plastic wrap? Does it ever Cause you any issues? Just curious. I really like your setup. I imagine those walls are pretty taught tho right?  So should be pretty static right?

The trick is having a stationary sab. Wipe nothing, spray nothing. Load from PC, get to work.


I'm not quite there yet. I have a space in mind but I have to set it up. I like your rig! Nice and roomy!

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

My takeaway:

-Have a permanent location if possible.

-Omit the wet towel and spraying everything down.

-Rack is optional

-Flame sterilized tool holder

-Wipe everything, including my search history (dirty dirty dirty)

I have 20 plates made up after what I did tonight. I'll set up again tomorrow with the new parameters and run it from there. I have an excess of grown out pasty plates I can practice with.

Thank you!

Could this be mold? So freaking hard to tell. The nutes on these plates are either 0.5 or 1%. But I mean this is lighter than I've ever seen. I'm only ever seen semp look like this. Sorta.

it grew this way the entire time. straight off the transfer. Doner plates looked good and I sent them.  two separate plates two separate cultures.

What do you guys think? If you can even see it.







I made other plates with the same nute level. same cultures and they looked a lot more normal like you would expect. I don't have any pictures of those though..


Also.... can a plate like this one below be a good candidate to take on a trip to the cabin? Or is it too late?

Yes, I setup adjustable metal shelves to my liking, 4'w,2'H,1.5'D, at a comfortable standing height. Wrapped it entirely in plastic wrap, cut away the front, replaced with plexiglass for rigidity, cut large squares for arms.
I intended to replace the other sides with something more rigid, but it hasn't been necessary.
The flimsy sides let me know if my movements are too severe. Instant feedback.

Cool, and it might be unnecessary, but I'm a little paranoid about it :lol: I have one that is washable and it makes me feel good so I'll probably keep using it :muppet:

Close doors and windows to the room while working and turn off fans/AC. I have no space to have it up all the time. I do it on my kitchen table.

Those look exactly like my "ochra" plates from an ochra vendor LC that everyone told me was mold. Powdery and unorganized.

That last plate the bottom quadrant there away from the mold seems clean, why not just take a transfer from there?

Very nice.  I was wondering if had intended to do plexi all the way around. The fact that the platic wrap works. Is even cooler.  Makes it much more accessible. Seems like a no brainer.


My sab isn't stationary. I'm constantly having to move it from one place to another when I want to do my work.

But I do have one of these shelves with all of my stuff on it that's perfectly out of the way.

So I'm going to steal this idea for sure.

Lol yoinks

Couple of those colonies are already touching and embedded up at 12:00 and 3:00ish.

So i wasn't sure.

Thought if anything. The  Cabin will give best odds at best results either way.



I think. I may be wrong but I think faht  said somthing like "why not just send everthing to the cabin?" 

..............
You know?
Give your culture a better chance from the start.  Like why start half way in. When you can start from the beginning. Is what I take away from that.
