testing syringe for contamination
    #3310970 - 11/02/04 06:37 PM (19 years, 3 months ago)

I have a syringe full of liquid mycelium from honey water. I have a few sterile disposable petri dishes and I was wondering how I could test it for contaminant. Should I use honey again? If so, how should I prepare it(I used a PC to sterilize the HW last time). Anything else I could use that is easy to get and use?

Make an agar plate, squirt a minute amount of solution onto the plate and spread the solution across the plate.

Within 1 week you will know if you have a sterile solution.

Another option is to prepare a substrate and inoculate onto the substrate. I usually do a test jar of grain before inoculating a whole batch of jars.

as straightforward as this is i never ever considered doing that (stupid  me)

wouldn't contams grow in the honey jar if it were contam'd? or do you mean that the syringe got contam'd in the process?

yeah, what joshua said.

A liquid culture is hard to visually screen for contamination. A lot of fungi look the same in liquid culture.
