Vial Cap Variants

As of 25/01/15, FynchBio gives the cap that only accommodates needles. This cap does not have a tight seal on the vial and thus does not enable emergency efflux.

Upgrades

1. Better seal to vial - enables emergency efflux away from vial should too much be pumped in

2. More ports

3. Reusable connectors - can use luer connectors to connect to eVOLVER tubing

Stronger Stirring

More stirring leads to better aeration and thus better growth in many cases. Try this stir bar for more vigorous stirring: Length 20 mm, Diameter 3 mm (# SBM-2003-MIC).

Try different stir speeds to see if you can get stable and intense stirring.
