Introducing our Pre-Sterilized Liquid Culture Jars
– Liquid culture is the ultimate solution for fast and efficient mycelium growth. These jars come pre-filled with a nutrient-rich liquid culture solution and are sealed. We have added an injection port for the removal of solution with a syringe. To add your agar wedge, just unscrew the lid in sterile conditions such as in a flow hood or in a still air box. Incubate at 25-26°C, and shake daily. The mycelium will thrive in the liquid solution, providing faster colonization than spores.
Key Features:
- Pre-Sterilized and Ready-to-Use: Start cultivating your mycelium with confidence.
- Faster Growth: Skip spore germination by using agar wedges for quicker results.
- Injection Port for Easy Use: Safely extract the culture with a 14-16g needle.
- Long-term Storage: Secure your culture with micro-pore tape and store at 2-8°C.
For a liquid culture jar experiment, follow these steps:
- Inoculate with Agar Wedge: Add a small piece of mycelium-covered agar to the pre-sterilized liquid culture jar. Incubate the jar at 25-26°C and shake it once a day to encourage even mycelium growth throughout the liquid.
- Monitor Growth: Observe daily for signs of mycelium growth. Once the mycelium colonizes 50% or more of the liquid, it’s ready for the next step.
- Test on Agar: Before using the liquid culture in bulk, test a small amount on a petri dish with agar to ensure it’s free from contamination.
- Injection and Expansion: Once confirmed clean, use a sterile syringe to extract the liquid culture and inject it into sterilized grain bags or jars for bulk cultivation.
This experiment showcases the speed and efficiency of using liquid culture over spore inoculation, making it ideal for mushroom cultivators looking to streamline their process.
Perfect for mycologists seeking reliable, fast-growing liquid cultures. Ideal for multiplying strong isolates and ensuring clean samples. Start your mycology research with confidence—order today!
