Alcohol lamp fluid
    #21350178 - 03/01/15 10:38 PM (9 years, 10 months ago)

Hey guys, I've currently just started using an alcohol lamp to flame sterilise my syringes and inoculation loop.

I've been using kerosene as the fluid and have noticed when it's alight that small bits of black ash appear all over the place. I'm not sure if this would effect the sterility of my SAB if some of the ash went on my gloves unknowingly and into the box?

I've got 3 birds also which I've also wandered if the fumes from the burning alcohol lamp would be dangerous to their health? As far as I've read kerosene doesn't burn very clean compared to metho, do you think this kerosene would be damaging to my birds' health? I have been doing it in a separate room to the birds just incase.

So my main question is would methylated spirits be better than kerosene? I'm just not a fan of the black ash everywhere and would like to reduce the toxins being released into my house where my birds are. They are obviously priceless animals to me but two of them are worth $1500+ each so don't want them dying from my stupidity.

Thanks for your time guys :smile:_Hope you all had a great weekend. Sam
