Sporemate ampoule Thai - 5 ml
This spore ampoule contains material from a Psilocybe cubensis strain named after the region where it was originally found: Thailand. The ampoule holds 5 ml of spore suspension in sterile water, together with a sterile syringe, an alcohol wipe and instructions for use. Spores themselves contain no psilocybin or psilocin; they are supplied solely for microscopic research and identification purposes. In terms of characteristics, the Thai strain is described as a relatively fast grower with an average colonisation rate: the mushrooms tend to emerge simultaneously in large numbers and can grow larger during later flushes than the first harvest. Characteristics like these are useful when identifying and comparing strains under the microscope.
Each ampoule is filled under sterile conditions, keeping the suspension free of contaminants that could otherwise interfere with microscopic examination. The included syringe lets you apply a small, precise amount of suspension onto a microscope slide.
How to use
Clean your work surface and hands before opening the ampoule, and use the included alcohol wipe to disinfect the needle and the ampoule membrane. Draw a small amount of suspension with the sterile syringe and apply it to a clean microscope slide for examination. Reseal the ampoule properly straight after use to prevent contamination of the remaining suspension.
Storage
Store the ampoule upright, in the dark and refrigerated between 2 and 8°C, for example at the bottom of the fridge. Do not freeze the suspension: ice crystals can damage the spores. With correct storage, an ampoule generally stays usable for research for up to around 2 years after shipment. Keep the ampoule, syringe and wipe together in the original packaging, so all the items stay neatly in one place.
Dutch-Smart's range also includes spore ampoules from various other strains and origins in the same category.
