Synthetic Filter Discs

When sterilizing grain spawn or mushroom spawn in bulk jars, it is important to facilitate gas exchange (GE) while preventing foreign contaminants from entering the canning jars. The best and most effective way of accomplishing this is by using synthetic filter discs (SFDs). Synthetic filter disks are specifically manufactured to prevent spores and other contaminates from passing through the filter, while still allowing gas exchange. They allow for gas exchange while providing 99.97% efficiency filtration down to 0.3 microns and are autoclavable safe. A Synthetic filter disc is made from similar material used for filter patches on mushroom grow bags or an All In One Mushroom Grow Bag.

How to add a Self Healing Injection Port to a Synthetic Filter Disc?

Installing the injection ports is effortless. Simply drill a hole in your plastic canning jar lid or synthetic filter disc and glue the self healing injection ports using either a silicone or high-temperature-based adhesive. It's that simple!
