STERILIZE THE WATER To produce sterile water, use a pressure cooker. The heat and pressure will destroy microbes which can contaminate your future grow and make sure your spore syringe won’t contaminate your colonies.

STERILIZE THE FLASK OR GLASS BOTTLE Use a flask or a glass bottle with a narrow opening to reduce the chances of contamination or microbes getting inside it. Pour 30 mL of water into it. Use the tin foil to cover the flask’s opening and place it into the pressure cooker.

STERILIZE THE REST OF THE EQUIPMENT If you’re reusing syringes and needles, you need to sterilize them too. Wrap them in tin foil and also put them in the pressure cooker at a pressure of 15 PSI for 30 minutes. Use a Bunsen burner to heat the ends

FILL THE WATER WITH SPORES Take the spore print out of its container. Using a scalpel that was just sterilized, scrape off the spores from the paper and into the sterilized flask with the sterile water.

FILL THE STERILE SYRINGES WITH SPORES Assemble the sterile syringes. Dip the tip of the syringe without the needle and pull the plunger back to suck in the water along with the spore suspensions. After filling a syringe, seal them using the needle and its cap.
