Our Stargazer microscopy kit comes with:
- Pre-filled 10cc Syringe: Which gives you convenient access to Stargazer spores without any additional preparation.
- Sterile Alcohol Swab: Helps create a hygienic research environment, ensuring precise and reliable results.
- Sterile Needle: Heps with easy spore handling for optimal microscopy observations.
We handpick each strain from genetically isolated sources to give you the best genetics for your scientific research. Our syringes are filled with polysorbate 20, which helps to prevent clumping and keep your spore samples evenly dispersed throughout the syringe. Each syringe also comes labeled with the strain name (taxon and common), a list of ingredients (what’s inside the syringe), and a QR scannable photo where you can access more information specific to that cultivar.
How to use the kit?
To examine our Inca Stargazer spores using a microscope, sterilize the slide and cover slip with rubbing alcohol. Then, place a water droplet on the slide and add a small amount of spore solution. Cover it with the slip and get ready for observation.
