Description

Wow wow wow wow

May I very proudly present to you.

Re-Usable, Multi use, Open Air Agar Pots. 210ml air Space with 20ml MEA Agar.

As a mycologist and company owner. I constantly try to put my self in the customers shoes and re-walk the mycological path to success.

Every mycologist will eventually learn about the wonders of Agar. With agar you can germinate spores, check for contamination, select and transfer sections for growth selection, cloning existing fruits, store mycelium…… The list goes on and excitement of the possibilities of contamination free tissue cultures grows too. Cloning those massive fruits and multiplying the tissue samples ready for use is all made possile with Agar work. Perhaps its making liquid cultures or liquid inoculants that you would like to try..

This excitement usually slows to a dead halt when you read about the equipment that is needed to preform these activities. Flow Hoods for example £300-£3000. Glove and still air boxes that even hardened pros can not get 100% contamination free agar plates with.

So wouldn’t it be nice to be able to do all the above in open air. In the field, in your bedroom, fully mobile and contamination free. A petri dish with injection ports for clean transfer of spore material or mycelium. Filter strip for air flow so the study subject can breath and flourish. Re-usable housing for extra long life. I looked high and I looked low and I managed to find all the parts needed.

You get:

210ml Pp5 pots with re-usable filter lids. (BISPHENOL A FREE)

2 Injection ports that are easy to remove and replace to extend life.

Micron filter strip. Keep dry and clean for extra long life and many uses.

20ml LME Blue Smurf Agar. 3-4mm depth and perfectly hydrated for your study choice.

Uses may include but not limited too:

Injection of spore or liquid culture to grow tissue culture ready for inoculating spawn directly.

Identification of possible contamination.

Transferring core samples with 14g from pot to pot to pot to select the strongest growth.

Transferring of clean mycelium from pot to pot by 14g needle core sample to eliminate contamination.

Make liquid inoculant  by injecting the colonized pot with sterile water and shaking to mix. Simply suck the water back out and you have a ready to use liquid inoculant, Test the liquid inoculant in a 2nd open air agar pot to prove it is clean and off you go.

There are so many uses and possibility’s for these pots that my team and i will have many months of fun testing out a whole new range of Techniques. They are so very useful and the fact that all this can be done with out any other equipment or cost is just amazing.

This is a product that really makes me smile. It ticks all the boxes and really does open up mycological agar study to any one any where.
