Having trouble w/ mycobag injector ports?? Try this!
    #8612899 - 07/09/08 12:20 PM (15 years, 8 months ago)

I am reading lots of posts where people R having trouble with contams near the injector ports of their mycobags.

This is a simple way to keep your bags clean throughout the inoculation process.

What you need:

2 alcohol swabs
1 mycobag
1 syringe of choice

Make sure you are in a relatively clean area. A bleach cleaned counter in what I prefer. (I always make sure the air unit is not running while I am injecting bags)

I always shake-up the material in the bag BEFORE injecting them. It disperses the ingredients evenly, and loosens the material, making it easier for the spores to enter the center of the substrate. I usually roll the top part of the bag back and under the bag to get it out of the way, and lie the bag on its back, injector port up. Lying the bag down makes injecting it easier.

Using your 1st alcohol swab, wipe the injector port gently. Making sure to clean the entire port. Then LEAVE THE SWAB ON TOP OF THE PORT while you prepare your syringe. This ensures that no dust or contams land on the port. 

Use your 2nd alcohol swab to clean the needle and plastic attachment on your syringe...its best to only introduce 1/2 of the needle into the port (less chance to contam the port).  Immediately after cleaning your syringe tip remove the alcohol swab thats lying on the port and inject your chosen amount of spores.

This is the important part:  After gently removing your syringe from the port, take the alcohol swab and clean the port again.  Leave the swab on top of the port for at least 60 seconds after injection.

I do this because the injector port is made of a special self healing foam....but the foam DOES TAKE SEVERAL SECONDS TO RE-SHAPE ITSELF. And in those few precious second your port CAN become contaminated...so by allowing the alcohol swab to remain in place you are ensuring that the port reseals itself in a sterile manner.

Good luck.

alcohol is not very effective at killing mold spores...

Common sense, and the search function are all that are needed. Alcohol is to SANITIZE not STERILIZE.

i was just wondering. my common sense told me that alcohol kills most living organisms so i assumed it could kill mold spores.

i searched mold spores and alcohol in the same search string and didnt get much of anything related. so could i see a link to something saying that alcohol doesnt kill mold spores? im not trying to fight about it, if im wrong, im wrong.
