If the syringe is autoclaveable then yes. Fill with water, put on cap or needle, wrap in foil, and PC away.

Im not sure if its autoclavable, it is a regular spore syringe that spores came in, it has been steralized by sucking in boiling water a few times since and was successful that way, just trying to kill two birds with one stone. Also Im a bit confused about the tek where you suck up boiling water, they usually leave water in the syringe after the 3rd suck but the syringe is gonna be for sucking lc, is there any teks specific on preparing a syringe for collecting lc?

Just spray the water out right before you suck up the lc. That's always how I've done it before and I've never had problems, even with syringes that were previously full of nasty trich lc.

Id recommend fill halfway with water, wrap in foil, PC
they are easy to sterilize, usually 30mins or so at max pressure
water is easy to sterilize
syringes can even be sterilized without a PC, but if you got one just use that success 99,99% of the time if you fill halfway with water
dont take out of foil before use(take out in the SAB)
havent had any syringes melt in a PC yet... most seem to be autoclaveable(although only tested at 12psi, not 15psi)

Cool, thanks mio. I was planning on pcing it anyways because I have to pc the grain jars, I was just mainly concerned about pcing the syringe with the jars for the entire 60 minutes.

Grain jars should be PCed for at least 90 minutes....not 60.

Don't cap it tight, it will push the plunger out the other end. Pressure has to go somewhere. Leave just a little bit of water inside it and PC fully extended, with the needle, foiled, so you're ready to go with minimal handling. You have to have some 'wet' involved, or it will warp the plastic if its done dry. Syringes are pretty sturdy. I've PC'd them over and over. Eventually they become useless, but not after getting your money's worth out of them.
Peace, FT
