Made from surgical-quality stainless steel, these tools are built to last and allow you to handle your mushrooms any way you see fit. Nonetheless, it is crucial you clean and sanitize your tools before each use to avoid contaminating your grow. Also, be sure to follow the care instructions below to properly clean your tools and promote their longevity. Follow the safety instructions to avoid injury.
How to Care for Your Stainless Steel Mycology Lab Tools
Before sterilizing your equipment, make sure you:
1. Rinse each tool under water.
2. Gently clean each tool with a soft cleaning brush and pH-neutral cleaning agent. High or low-pH detergents can break down the protective stainless coating of these instruments and cause staining/corrosion.
3. Thoroughly dry each tool with a clean paper towel.
To avoid contaminating your mushroom grow, always sterilize your tools before use.
How to Change Scalpel Blades
Always use forceps or needle holders to handle scalpel blades. Dispose of used blades in a sealed container and in accordance with local laws/guidelines.
Safety Instructions
This kit contains sharp laboratory equipment, including scissors and scalpels. Improper use of these objects may cause injury. Do not pick up items by their blades, and always cut away from your body. Do not use blades if they are dull or damaged. Always sterilize your laboratory equipment before use, and store this kit in a safe place out of reach of children.
