spore syinge question

how long with a syringe with a spore solution keep if it's kept in a dark cool place?

 

sol, isnt really anything but sterile water.. and they can germinate in there too.. they will look white..

If you really have concerns about spore life, you should buy a microscope.. I did and if you know what your doing (still learing myself actually ) shake the syringe vigorously, get a slid and put a drop from your spore syringe on it.. you will not contaminate your syringes by doing this..

 

cool..thanks for your help..though i don't think i'll be able to score a microscope anytime soon : ) but is there a rough estimate of time or does it just vary randomly?

 

im gonna say it varies randomly..
I got my microscope a few weeks ago.. but tbh I only looked at spores once.. the rest the stuff, was eye lashes, blood, insects. that kinda thing..

 

put them in the refridgerator, they will last forever.

 

cool..thanks guys : ) have fun with that microscope! : )

 

yeah the syringe will last for ages - just DO NOT open the thing covering the needle until you innoculate your jars, if you do it before then you'll have basically wasted a syringe.
