3lb Vigor Grain Bag

$22.00

Red winter wheat with CaSO₄·2H₂O and CaCO₃ mineral buffer. Hydrated to 52% via No-Soak, No-Simmer (NSNS) process control. Sterilized at 118.3°C / 15 PSI for 172 minutes (elevation-adjusted, 4,984 ft). Validated to F₀ ≥ 60 (grain target: 30–60). Pre-installed injection port for direct syringe or LC inoculation without opening. Shipped with Batch ID, Manifest Card, and QR-linked Digital Birth Certificate.

INTEGRATION

QR → Cynic Lab OS (auto-log batch metadata on scan)

Integration

This unit includes a QR-linked tag. Scan to auto-populate batch metadata into your portal dashboard — sterilization parameters, QA hold window, F₀ value, and operator sign-off.

Every Unit Includes

  • 1× Sterile grain bag with injection port (heat-sealed polypropylene w/ .2-micron filter patch)
  • 1× Physical Manifest Card
  • 1× pH test strip affixed to Manifest Card
  • Batch ID + QR code linking to Digital Birth Certificate

Available for local pickup in Longmont, CO. Contact us to place an order.

Species Compatibility

Universal transfer vector. Red winter wheat protein profile (10–13%) supports aggressive decomposers. Oysters (Blue, Pearl, King): ideal. Lion's Mane: faster pinking and primordia formation. Reishi/Turkey Tail: hard husk prevents mush during longer colonization. NSNS process maintains kernel integrity. Injection port allows direct inoculation without flow hood.

RELEASE_DATE

Post-hold, zero-growth confirmed

Every unit is held in incubation after sterilization. No unit ships until the hold window closes with zero contamination evidence. Dates are recorded on the Digital Birth Certificate.

Digital Birth Certificate

Every unit ships with a Manifest Card carrying a QR code. Scan to access the thermal integration log, F₀ value, sterilization parameters, and operator sign-off for your batch. Data is immutable once published.

Batch Evidence

Use your shipped Batch ID to open the certificate at /batch/[BATCH-ID].

Altitude Compensation — 4,984 ft

Sterilization parameters compensated for operating altitude. At 4,984 ft, 15 PSI yields 118.3°C — not 121°C. Hold window is product-specific, validated to per-material F₀ targets. Sea-level timing applied at elevation produces inadequate lethality.

Grain hydration and mineral buffering validated per batch before release.
