huhhhh, contamination again! im not sure what else to do at this point. ive pressure cooked the jars for an hour, i sterlized all the equpmetnt i used. the water i used in the substrate was filtered water and i boiled it before mixing. i also used tyvek and polyfil on the jars and taped the holes shut and the jars are wrapped in foil. what more can i do!? i still got contams in my jars, one of the cakes is almost completly colonized and is just got some contamination at he top, a coule of thers were a couple days into the colonizing and they got contaminated to. i used to boil the BRF cakes but always had lost of contams, i fuqured the pressure cooker woul get rid of all of it.help!!!

Did you wipe down the syringe needles with alcohol, or flame-sterilize them?
 Peace.

put some silicone over your inoculation holes. wipe everything with alcohole soaked cotton balls and inject through a wrapped soaked ball, through the silicon. other then that maybe its what you are injecting that is already contaminated, unless its a soponcers syringe... but if it is your own LC or a syringe you made from a print that could be your problem.

I was going to say the same thing. Maybe the syringes themselves are contaminated. Have they all been from the same batch?

i flame the syring everytime i insert it in a hole, so 4 times per jar. i am using a soponcers syringe so i would hope its not from them. hopefully the other jars will be ok, or ill have to save the one that is almost done, its lik 90% colonized so hopefully i will be able to save it, im all out of spores and money!!!!! i sent a good amount of cash on my new set up and hoeping to get some of it back.ill have to try the siclicone thing, should i put silicone over the jars that re already incubaing, i afraid that when i pull of the tape, even though ill be for just a split second i might contaminate them but i would like to do what i can to make sure they dont get contaminated.
