What is the Myco Lid Pro™ ?
-
Luer Tapered Fittings
Unlike any other myco jar lid on the market, the Myco Lid Pro® with its integrated luer tapered fittings, sets a new standard in Jar Tek for the novice and professional mycology communities. No more hassle with making inferior jar lids that only last a handful of uses. Utilize the luer tapered fittings as they were intended.
-
Protected Air Port
Integrated into the Myco Lid Pro® is a protective screen that allows for the separation of the substrate in the jar from the filter material chosen for gas exchange. This feature further protects your mycelium from contaminations caused by compromised filters.
-
Replaceable Accessories
No more hassle with drilling and gluing accessories to your lids. The Myco Lid Pro® design allows for any accompanying accessory to be replaced without modifying, re-gluing, or discarding your lid for a new one.
-
Sample Cultures like a Pro
Attach a dispensing needle to the integrated luer fitting on the Myco Lid Pro® to allow for more efficient and sterile practices when repeatedly sampling your liquid cultures. No more tipping your jar or wearing out the self healing injection ports when sampling.
-
Aesthetic Labeling
Documentation and organization in scientific ventures are key to consistent and predictable results. Integrated into the Myco Lid Pro® is a raised surface for the utilization of labeling your jars in a clean fashion. Keep it clean. Be precise.
-
Non-Kink Design w/ Gasket
Metal Lids are only intended to be used once and plastic lids are intended for freezing purposes. Adding a gasket to plastic lids becomes a hassle because the typical plastic lids kink and move the gasket when screwed into place. The Myco Lid Pro® is designed to be used with a separate locking band that moves independently of the lid when being screwed down tight. This circumvents any kinking and ensures a sterile seal.
-
UNIVERSAL DESIGN
Interchangeable between spawn run and liquid culture applications
Available in both wide and regular mouth sizes for mason jars
Compatible with any locking band intended for canning jars
Highly reusable design allows all components to be easily replaced and the Myco Lid Pro® to be autoclaved up to 1500 accumulative minutes while maintaining a seal.
-
Standardized Design
With a universally standard design for a mycology jar lid, the Myco Lid Pro® introduces a more practical and reliable device for the study of mycology. Simplifying all techniques for mycologists in the realm of Jar Tek.
