LidBac replacement? - (Mar/01/2011 )

My lab is trying to replicate some experiments we did in the past, culturing Bacillus in eppendorf tubes. Apparently they used LidBac tops back in the day to let air flow into the tube, but Eppendorf has discontinued these and I can't find an alternative for the life of me.

Any ideas? :)

? Are you sure about this? They still have those tubes.. its a sort of membrane you can put on tubes..

Edit: however it does indeed seem you cant buy them anymore, weird
