Melted Needle, was able to get solution out. Any chance of success?
    #19075035 - 11/02/13 12:58 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Okay so when I was flame sterilizing my needle for the first time doing a set of BRF jars, the tip melted and no solution would come out.  I discovered that I could inject for 10 seconds or so after flaming the tip, I guess because metal expands under heat, creating enough room for the water to get out.  After that, nothing would come out, no matter how much I pushed on the plunger.  I was able to knock up 2 holes a jar and finish the syringe.  My question is: is there any hope the space created by heating the tip of the needle was enough for spores to get through?  I think I might be boned on this one and that was my last syringe...  :frown:

Dont know, it shipped with the syringe.  If I had to guess I would say 16 Guage, but thats a wild guess based on the one time I had to buy needles for syringes.

Spores are microscopic, I'd be surprised if nothing grew :shrug:
