needles and syringes from spores101...
    #7966143 - 02/01/08 06:37 PM (16 years, 4 hours ago)

ok, i just got some syringes from spores101 and they came with the needle not attached to the syringe. so my question is...how do i put the needle on the syringe without letting any contams get inside the needle. the last time i tried this, all my projects were contamed! i guess i should just flame sterilize and use alcohol too...but will this also sterilize the plastic part where the needle screws into the syringe? and i also want to know if there is a company that sends the needles already attached to the syringes...i have been having a problem with contams lately :frown: any help is appreciated. thanks

LOL! I've never received a syringe that was attached already. The needle is "sealed". The way I go about this is that I have a medium size tupperware type container, (one that will hold the length of the syringe). I fill it with alcohol about half way, and drop the needle and syringe in it. Let it sit there for a few minutes while you get everything else in order. I use a glove box for inoculations. So once everything is in the glove box and ready for inoculation I take the needle and syringe out of the alcohol bath and put my hands (with needle and syringe) through the holes of the glove box. Once inside the glove box, I take off the syringe cap/stopper and screw on the needle. Pop off the sealed needle sheath and your ready to go.

hmmm...so even if you get alcohol inside the needle it's ok? will alcohol kill spores? and i remember getting syringes with needle attached from two different companies...i cant remember if they were sponsored by the shroomery, but they workd tho.

Remember, you have to flame the needle. That will get rid of the alcohol. The Sheath is sealed to prevent contamination so alcohol shouldn't even be getting in to begin with. It's the way I've done it time and time again. I've never had a problem with it affecting the spores in the syringe.

There was something else wrong. There is no way that you would have screwed everything up by putting on the needle unless you just dug through the trash with your bare hands and then fully removed teh needle from the plastic sleeve and rubbed the needle on your hands and then stuck it in the trash and then put it on.

It isnt that hard to do. Something else went wrong although spore101 has put out some dirty syringes

great first post. It isnt that difficult. It should be idiot proof but you guys continue to prove to me that nothing is idiot proof

Ha!, I ordered about $150 of syringes from spores101, I got my order and two weeks later I got another IDENTICAL order. 2 for the price of 1. Not bad huh?

They were kind of slow though.

I've ALWAYS gotten my syringes with the needles attached. From hawk and lilshopofspores.

hey thanks for telling me those other companies that send their syringes already attached...maybe i am doing something else wrong like tahoe said but i cant think of anything other than i have never flame sterilized my needles(but i have succesfully grown b4, and im doing everything the same, but since ordering from spores101 i have been having probs) i guess i will try these syringes with this new found knowledge and if it doesn't work this time im gonna go with hawkseye. any other suggestions are welcome! thanks guys!

Should I have? After I ordered, I read some horror stories about stuff from them on here. I'll be lucky if my stuff actually grows. We'll see.
