Engineered for High-Flow Mycology

Standard medical needles are designed for thin liquids, but the professional mycologist knows that a vigorous Liquid Culture (LC) needs more “breathing room.” The STS-approved Pro-Series 16G Needles are the industrial answer to clogged transfers and stalled inoculations.

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel with a reinforced nickel-plated brass hub, these needles are built for the rigors of a high-output lab. Unlike disposable needles, these are fully autoclavable, allowing you to sterilize and reuse them indefinitely—aligning perfectly with the Eco Bini mission of reducing plastic waste.

Choose Your Length:

• 25mm (1 inch): The agile choice for agar work, petri dish inoculations, and small-batch jar transfers.
• 38mm (1.5 inch): The “Mother Bag” essential. Extra reach for deep grain bag inoculation and drawing from large 500ml LC flasks.

Why 16-Gauge? The 16G “Wide-Bore” design is specifically selected for mycelial slurries. It allows thick, ropy rhizomorphic growth to pass through the needle without being shredded or clogging the tip. When paired with our Pro-Series Stainless Steel Syringe, you have a high-pressure system capable of inoculating dozens of Mother Spawn bags with precision and speed.

Technical Specifications:

• Gauge: 16G (Wide Bore)
• Hub Type: Universal Luer tip (Metal)
• Material: Surgical-grade Stainless Steel / Nickel-Plated Brass
• Sterilization: Fully Autoclavable (121°C / 15 PSI)
• Compatibility: All STS Pro-Series and standard Luer Lock syringes.

Pro-Tip: “The 38mm (1.5″) length is our top recommendation for Mother Spawn—the extra reach allows you to inoculate deep into the grain core while keeping your syringe safely away from the bag’s seal zone.”
