5ml Vials, Culture Storage?
    #18889529 - 09/25/13 02:11 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

I picked up a few 5ml vials with the intent of using them for culture storage. Are these large enough for this intended use? I'm currently using petris for agar isolation and thought, perhaps, vials with closed caps would be a more effective alternative for longer term storage.

The 5ml vials have a plastic cap with a white washer/sealer. I picked these up for $0.25/ea - is the size OK or would 10-25ml vials be more appropriate?

Thank you!

You should read up on it. You'll need tubes, not vials.

You won't be able to sterilize those vials.

I was planning on sterilizing them by placing in a pot of boiling water.

Syringes have been successfully sterilized by running boiling water through them a few times before actually being used - I figured boiling would get the job done...

Are we strictly questioning the cap of these vials or the container as a whole?

Boiling them won't sterilize them. Besides, as soon as you pull them out they're not sterile anymore.

The caps won't hold up, and you're not gonna be able to get enough media in there, nor will you have an easy time getting a scalpel in the opening.

They just won't work.
