Frozen or Very Cold Spore Syringes - Still good to innoculate?

plot-n-prosper · 12-10-08, 19:56

My package sat outside last night by the front door on accident.
It was pretty cold last night. Before i went to bed it was 36degrees but may have reached freezing (32degrees), i dont know.

When i opened the box this morning around 10:30am they wern't frozen or anything.

Are these syringes still good?

Even if they did freeze , are they still alright?

Please help me out - im a little nervouse about these syringes now~

Thanks Guys!

They might me if they weren't frozen. not if they were slushy that would be a different story.

I think the spores would survive a freeze, but I am not sure. Try it an see. Do a test jar, or a drop or two on an agar plate to check for germination.

No worries they should be fine. SWIM has frozen spore solution before with no problems.
