Make your own innoculation loop. * 1
    #532563 - 01/27/02 12:20 AM (22 years, 2 months ago)

1) Start with a twisty tie, the kind you close bread up with, the longer the better.

2) Strip the plastic covering off.

3) Bend gently in half.

4) Place bend over round style pencil/pen so that you can balance the wire on the pencil. The pencil/pen will form the loop.

5) Twist the two ends together starting closest to the pencil/pen.

6) Continue to twist tightly until two tails are left. Approximately 1 inch long.

7) Remove wire from pencil/pen. This should require slipping the wire loop down the length of the pencil/pen.

8) Wrap wire tails around tip of pencil. To tighten, twist wires together.

9) To make sure that wire is fixed to pencil a peice of tape may help.



I hope this helps you all to manufacture your own innoculation loop. Hopefully eventually you will be able to afford this $3-4 item.

It is used in agar cultivation to transfer spores to the agar medium.

Now thats the kind of stuff that we need more of here. (seriously)

I have mega respect for most Vendors on this site, however I also like information that can save money. (personaly, my friends tell me that I'm a great hand at makeing home-made bud pipes from almost anything non toxic)

Can you explain the reason why someone would use spores for agar cultivation over cakes or caseings?

Agar is an advanced technique used for strain isolation. Please do some reading.

Agar has a few specialised applications.

1) It allows one to isolate strains. By letting the mycelium grow out you can visually see which areas are growing rhizomorphically. Generally these areas are signs of aggresive strains.

2) It allows you to work with contaminated prints. By growing the prints out on agar you will be able to isolate healthy non-cantaminated areas of mycelium. You would then remove these areas w/ a scalpel and transfer to a fresh plate.

3) Cloning. You can take flesh or mycelium from a desired fruit or strain and grow it out. All of the mycelium from this original is geneticaly identical to the original.

4) etc. These are just a few advantages to agar culturing.

Take it easy there thunder. I posted in general cultivation. This guy stuck to his area, it's probably my fault for posting in this forum. As you said agar is an "advanced technique".

With all due respect...

This thread seems to have encountered some sort of "bug" or "glitch".....

There are a few replies that have disapered from a couple of hours ago from within this thread.

The reference to "basic concepts of agar" was perfectly in context to what the thread was before. (it dosent "read" the same way now)
