Replacement Injection Needle for Mycology: Reliable Sterile Tools

For injection, syringe hypodermic needle, When working with mushroom cultivation, using sterile and reliable equipment is essential. A replacement injection needle is a crucial tool for inoculating spores into liquid culture jars, grain spawn, or other substrates. This syringe needle , often used with a syringe – hypodermic needle for injection ensures precise inoculation while maintaining a contamination-free environment. Buy your spare needle today.

All of our syringes are sent out with a needle.

Designed for easy attachment and secure sealing, these sterile needles make it simple to inject spore solutions or liquid cultures directly into self-healing ports or injection sites. 21-18Gauge needle are best suited to spore solution. 14Gauge needles are ideal for drawing up thicker solutions, such as liquid cultures, without clogging. Please see here for the thicker 14Gauge needles. Whether you’re a professional or a hobbyist mycologist, reliable replacement needles are a must-have in your toolkit to ensure successful, contaminant-free mushroom cultivation.

 

Key Features of Replacement Injection Needles for Mycology:

• Sterile: Pre-sterilized to prevent contamination in critical stages.
• Precise Inoculation: Sharp, easy-to-use needles.
• Compatible: Fits securely with standard Luer-lock syringes, ensuring safe and sterile inoculations.
• Versatile Use: Perfect for liquid cultures, spores, and other mushroom cultivation tasks.

How to dispose syringe and needle

Needle caps should always be replaced onto the syringe needle after use and a empty syringe should always have its capped needle removed before being placed in a bin and moved to the rubbish.

Mycology Experiment Using a Replacement Needle

Objective:
To inoculate a liquid culture jar with a spore solution using a sterile replacement injection needle and ensure successful mycelium growth.

Materials Needed:

• Replacement injection needle (sterile)
• Luer-lock syringe (sterile)
• Spore solution
• Liquid culture jar (sterile with self-healing injection port)
• Alcohol swabs
• Still air box or flow hood

Procedure:

1. Prepare the Syringe and Needle: Attach the sterile replacement injection needle to the Luer-lock syringe. The needle comes from the packet already sterile so PLEASE DO NOT HEAT OR WIPE THE NEEDLE.
2. Sanitize the Work Area: Wipe down all work surfaces with alcohol. Perform this experiment in a still air box or under a flow hood to reduce contamination risk.
3. Prepare the Liquid Culture Jar: Wipe the self-healing injection port of the liquid culture jar with an alcohol swab to ensure sterility.
4. Inoculate the Liquid Culture: Using the syringe, draw up the spore solution. Insert the needle through the injection port, and carefully inject the spore solution into the jar. Slowly remove the needle after injection to minimize any back-suction.
5. Seal and Store: After injecting the spores, cover the self-healing injection port with micropore tape (optional for added security). Store the jar in an incubator at 25-27°C. Shake daily to distribute the spores.
6. Monitor Growth: Over the next 7-10 days, observe the jar for signs of mycelium growth. Once the liquid culture is fully colonized, it can be used to inoculate substrate or grain spawn.

Conclusion: The sterile replacement needle allows for precise and contamination-free inoculation, essential for successful liquid culture growth.

Invest in high-quality, sterile replacement injection needles to streamline your mycology projects and ensure reliable results.
