Self-sealing injection port
- Ease of use: Adhesive injection ports allow liquid cultures to be injected without having to open the container, reducing the risk of contamination.
- Cleanliness: the self-healing material of the injection ports closes after passing the needle, which helps protect the culture medium from contamination.
- Durability: Injection ports are made with strong 3M adhesive and are waterproof, making them resistant to harsh conditions. In addition, they are fully autoclavable and resistant to temperatures above 121°.
- Ease of application: It is easy to apply the injection ports to jar lids or grow bags. Simply clean the surface where you are going to stick the port, peel the port from the foil and apply it to the bag or jar. Remember to always clean the port with 70% alcohol before inserting a needle.
Perfect for injecting liquid cultures with a syringe into a jar or a bag of mycelium on grains. This way, you don't even have to open the container, thus limiting the risk of contamination.
Adhesive injection ports can be applied to jar lids or cultivation bags so that you can inject and withdraw mycelium in liquid cultures, while protecting your medium from contamination (molds, bacteria, yeasts).

Use
With a Unicorn bag :
- Clean the surface where you will glue the injection port.
- Peel the injection port from the foil and apply it to the bag or jar.
- Note: Always clean the port with 70% alcohol before inserting a needle.
With a jar:
- Drill a cover with a +-5mm drill bit. Place an adhesive filter, pressing firmly on the edges to make it adhere.
Tip for sterilizing in pressure cookers:
Do not close the lids completely. Leave a small gap which will allow the steam to escape, otherwise the injection ports or filters risk coming loose under the internal pressure. This also helps prevent the formation of a “vacuum” during cooling, which can damage the filters. Cooling must be done in the cleanest environment possible to avoid contamination. Only open the pressure cooker when the temperature has cooled to room temperature, and close the lids securely at that time. If possible, work in front of laminar flow.
