The essence of sterile work is fluid speed, conservation of motion.
I thought it was to create a sterile environment. Sure, you can pretend to avoid the spores and floating bacteria if you work fast enough, but I can't and don't.
Create a glove wall. Think of it as a glove box running the entire corner of a room. Hanging thick white/clearish plastic from the ceiling and staple gun it to the floor. Make it big enough to put a glass table and as many jars as you want to work with. Put zippered door on it. Create tyvek sleeves and bind them to semi-thick gloves (make sure you can use needles, open jars, etc.). Gorilla tape is your friend. You can have sleeves at multiple levels and areas so you can put shelves in there as well to store jars that have yet to be inoculated but already PCed. Put a plexiglass viewplate to you can see clearly enough. Make sure the sleeves (and your arms) are long enough to reach to the back. It SUCKS when you push a jar too far and can't reach it.
In this area I can work about 30 quart jars at a time without any exposure. It is also about the same amount of needles I can sterilize before the flame goes out due to low oxygen.
The main reason I built it in the 1st place was I did not like working with glove boxes. Sterile prep time is huge, and glove boxes are tiny. Adding a live fire after you've filled it with lysol is crazy explosive.
Also, I destroyed several lighters when attempting to sterilize them before putting them in, so I learned to love a long burning alky lamp, as long as there is oxygen.
I can take a hot pressure cooker, spray/wipe it down just in case (handle isn't hot), place it in the sterile area, and unload it to the shelves, and let it cool there, having never had the possibility for contams during a PC unload pass.
Now create an additional set of hanging plastic walls 4 feet out. You want to be able to clean the outer area as well, and suit up, and be confident the only air movement is you.
I take about 20 minutes of clean prep, spray, wipe, etc, the entire area, before i do any work. I'm always running a couple of hepa fans in there to keep the general load down.
