Steps to reproduce
TO MAKE TEGOSEPT STRIPS: 1st make a 10% tegosept solution: 100g Tegosept / Liter Dilute in 200 Proof EtOH. Mix well. Can be kept in a capped bottle at room temp for years... Cut filter paper into strips. (Fisher #09-795E, 12.5cm dia circles) Place strips into a Petri dish, being sure that the strips don’t touch one another or they will stick together later Wear gloves, and using a pipet, drop the solution onto filter paper strips just until strip is wet. Allow the solution to dry entirely. Once strips are rigid and dry, you can move them all into one storage container We DO NOT WASH the petri or try to remove any crystals, we just keep reusing them over and over as they are.
