Scalpel Won't get red
    #11009556 - 09/06/09 02:00 PM (15 years, 4 months ago)

Just receive some new scalpel blade and tried to sterilize them with my alcool lamp But it never became red... It was just getting black. Anyone know why or if its sterile even if not getting red ?

If it's over a flame for a minute or so it's sterile.  It shouldn't turn black unless you're using rubbing alcohol.  You're supposed to use denatured alcohol.

Heard of people using sterno without a problem, does leave residue though.
Propane torch is by far the best. The flame doesn't waver in the flow of a hood, and it heats to red hot in less than 3 seconds.
