Coring can happen after around 8 punctures with a 21G needle, so do not pierce in the exact same spot repeatedly. If using a thicker 18G needle (not included), it will start to core after 3 or 4 punctures.

How clean

All of our spore syringes, vials and swabs are produced in lab conditions with spore prints cultivated legally in professional labs. There is no such thing as a sterile spore syringe, we're not promising miracles here - what we do promise is the cleanest we can achieve in our lab from print suppliers we trust the quality of - this is our bread and butter and what we pride ourselves on. Our homepage shows our own setup in greater detail as well as our YouTube channel.

Useful

• The 3 ml and 12 ml syringes are polypropylene. Pressure-cooker safe (if you want to re-use).
• The 1 ml syringes are polycarbonate. Pressure-cooker safe (if you want to re-use).
