In the delicate realm of spore research, contamination prevention is paramount. Our specialised mycology equipment is designed to create sterile working environments, ensuring accurate and reliable results when studying magic mushroom spores.

Essential Equipment for Contamination Prevention

There are many different ways to prevent contamination of your mushroom spores from airborne elements, and the specifics of your equipment setup will vary depending on available space and the needs of your project. These are some of the most popular pieces of contamination prevention equipment:

Still Air Boxes (SABs)

Used to create a contained, low-airflow environment, minimising the risk of airborne contaminants entering your cultures, still air boxes are essential for inoculation and other sensitive procedures involving spore syringes, prints, and swabs.

Flow Hoods

Providing a continuous stream of HEPA-filtered air, flow hoods create an ultra-clean workspace for advanced mycological research, making them ideal for working with agar cultures and other delicate procedures.

Face Masks

Face masks prevent the accidental introduction of respiratory droplets and particles into your sterile environment when working at close quarters with your spore specimens. This makes them a crucial component of personal protective equipment during any mycological procedure.

Sanitiser Spray

Also known as isopropyl alcohol, sanitiser sprays are a must-have in any lab. Used for disinfecting surfaces, tools, and hands of potential contaminants, they are essential for maintaining a sterile workspace.

Surgical Tape

In mycology, surgical tape is most commonly used to seal petri dishes and other containers to prevent contamination and maintain sterility in the lab.

Alcohol Burners

Alcohol burners help to create a localised sterile environment by using the flame to sterilise inoculation loops and other tools. It also creates a convection current that pushes air away from the immediate work area.

Why Contamination Prevention is Crucial

Accurate spore observation and analysis require a sterile environment. Contamination can introduce unwanted microorganisms, compromising the integrity of your research and leading to inaccurate results and wasted resources, not to mention wasted time already spent on the project.
