    Portable UV-C Light Sterilizer

    Pros:
    • High quality
    • Effective sterilization
    • Safety features
    • Ease of use
    Cons:
    • Cost
    I live in a hot and humid climate that requires the AC to be on for most months of the year. I’ve always been concerned about airborne contamination because of this.

    I have built a DIY still air box to help combat this issue. While I still use 70% alcohol, the MidWest Portable UV-C Light Sterilizer has given me the extra layer of sterilization that I was looking for.

    During inoculation I first clean everything with alcohol. Then I pass the UV-C wand slowly over every part of the box, spawn bags, spore syringe and other necessary pieces of equipment.
    I also use it to sterilize my monotubs, casing mix, spawn bags and ancillary equipment before starting the final stages.

    I can say that I’ve never had a contamination issue (knocking on something wood)!

    The Portable UV-C Light Sterilizer has several safety features to make it easier to use.

    As a safety precaution, I purchased an inexpensive pair of UV-C blocking glasses.

    Highly recommended if you have concerns regarding sterilization.

    Very reassuring tool to have around: its stressful when you don't know for two more months whether you did a good enough job back at the beginning. Kinda lightweight and flimsy, but what isn't anymore.

    Best company for mushroom supplies

    Had mold starting in my Bulk grow. Put the Uv sterlizer on it and got rid of the mold. Paid for itself with first use. Thank you Midwest!

    This definitely adds an extra layer of protection and sterilization. I use it on everything. I have yet to use it on visible mold. All of my tools, injection sites and work stations are cleaned with this product.
