Default Re: Germination the easy way

Well, the ingens embryo has contamination on the latest one that I attempted to rescue. I threw caution to the wind, opened the jar and sprayed it with Physan 20 to see if I can halt the contamination. We will see if that works.
I am going to wait on any further embryo rescue attempts until I can make some Nitsch & Nitsch medium modified for embryo rescue specifically. I am also going to use sterile coconut water and activated charcoal to see if I can get the endogenous contaminants out of the embryos. Could sterilize with silver nitrate too, might try it.
