Instead of scraping an agar plate or using spores directly, you inject a small piece of mycelium or a spore sample into the nutrient solution – the mycelium multiplies within it and can subsequently be injected directly into grain spawn or substrate using a syringe. The advantage: faster colonization, more uniform distribution, and a lower risk of contamination during inoculation (provided that work is performed under sterile conditions – see notes below).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy jars with an injection port and magnetic stir bar?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelf-healing injection port (Luer-Lock)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lid features a self-healing injection port with a standardized Luer-Lock connection. It allows for sterile inoculation and extraction via syringe without having to open the jar – this keeps every extraction lower in contamination risk when working cleanly. \"Premium lid\" and \"Luer-Lock\" refer to the same lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ep\u0026gt;Magnetic stir bar (optional)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you select \"2 pieces\" above, one magnetic stir bar will be included per jar. It is used with a magnetic stirrer (not included) to distribute the mycelium evenly in the solution and prevent clumping. The result: a more homogeneous culture and more uniform inoculation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApplication – how liquid culture works\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1. Inoculation: Inject a mycelium sample or spore solution through the injection port. The jar remains closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2. Incubation: Store at room temperature (approx. 22–25 °C). Mix regularly on the magnetic stirrer. The mycelium multiplies in the nutrient solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3.
