If you do not have a flow-hood, turn off the air conditioner and any fans in the area. You want the wind to be as still as possible.
Put on your face-mask
Put on latex gloves and wipe them with rubbing alcohol.
Clean everything thoroughly with a disinfectant such as a 10% bleach mix, Lysol, or rubbing alcohol. Wipe down the work surface, container, and syringe.
If you are not under a flow-hood, spray an air sanitizing spray like Oust, Lysol, or Nutra-air over the work area. Leave your work area for a few minutes to let the disinfectant settle.
Carefully open the packaging that your liquid culture syringe came in and shake it vigorously.
Remove the tip cap on the end of the syringe and attach the needle. Keep the needle cover on for now.
