      There are definitely in between options... i got a complete HEPA laminar setup and coupled it with a 2x4 foot shelf to make a big work space... i was willing to spend a bit more, but under 1000 dollars for the shelving unit and the complete fan filter and hood setup. If you want to find a cheap HEPA filter go check out Staples and you could easily get a 9x9inch filter for about 30 bux that you could use to make your own clean air box. Question is just how big of a space you want to work in and how much you want to spend. I was lost in my early research but realized there are options for every price point

    • @superbarnie
      @superbarnie 3 года назад +4

      @@SirCheese710 I wouldn't recommend using those HEPA air purifiers found in stores as a flowhood, generally their filters are not thick enough to create laminar air flow. IIRC, you need the filter element to be at least 6 inches deep for laminar air flow.
      I'd suggest going the DIY route if you are low on funds and a flowhood is really necessary ( it usually isn't). A 2x4 foot flowhood can be made for around $600

    I haven't watched a lot of your content yet, just found you recently. Very interesting content indeed and your stacked plate work was very good, I haven't worked in a micro lab for over 15 years so lovely to see. You may cover this in other videos bit in case you don't, your refering to aseptic technique when you talk about maintaining sterility in a lab, I thought that might help some people who want to research further about it. (For the you, it's not important, as you clearly know what you're doing).
    Also for others the plates come in the bag, sealed for sterility, if you open carefully it perfect to then store them in again, with a little masking tape to close up. I'd only store them like that, if storing blank plates (Petri dish with set agar) before use. I'd tend to use cages to store inoculated plates, but they lived in climate controlled cabinets.
    Also interesting fact about agar for those new to it, you heat it up to about 85°C (about 185°F) to liquify it and it will then stay a liquid as it cooos to around 37°C (about 100°F) then it gradually set.
