Scalpel stand?
    #21746015 - 05/31/15 07:45 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Do they make scalpel stands? I'd love to have a bacti cinerater but its pricey and I can't justify it for the little bit of hobby I do.

So what does everyone else do when you need both hands? Simply put it down and wipe down and resterilize when you pick it back up?

I just set mine down on a jar or petri or something with the blade hanging off (pointing away from me, of course) and do whatever I need. Or learn to hold onto it with a different finger.

I used to set mine on a petri as well but my workspace is slightly off level so it always rolls off.

I bet I could rig something up pretty easy with a coat hanger. Just make a little u shape or saddle to set mine in.

My bacti-cinerator has like 6 holes for tools so that is my solution. I resterilizes between procedures anyway though.

Get a real scalpel. They're only a couple bucks on Ebay and they're not round.

No joke!  I paid 7 dollars for an exacto with 5 blades at the store.  I found a real scalpel with 100 sterilized blades under 5 bux on ebay with free shipping.  Plus the quality difference is ridiculous.  Exactos suck in almost every aspect for this hobby.

Really? I use xacto with the #11 blade and it's been a dream to work with. A lot better than my scalpel. The blades point is so small and it heats up red hot in like 2 seconds. Idk who it was that recommended #11 xacto blades but I'm so happy I decided to try it out

I stick the tip of my blade in the gap between the flowhood & work surface.  Keeps it from rolling away.

Check ebay for used bacticinerators, I paid $70 shipped for mine.

You know you can get different blades for a scalpel, right? I use a #11 blade on mine. I'm talking a real steel one, not the disposable pieces of shit.

Do bacti cinerators make the whole scalpel hot as a mofo?

Even using my torch occasionally I get enough heat transfer where I have to put it down for a few to let it cool.

Mister 36 I think you meant to quote rye, not me lol. I know you can use different blades. I just love #11 for everything :smile:

There are lots of different blades for scalpels (more than exacto I believe.)  A scalpel also holds the blade secure.  Exactos apparatus never seems to hold the blade wiggle free no matter how tight I screw it in.  Also a scalpel is more intuitive ergonomically.  You grab it and it's immediately in the right position.  Exactos round pencilish design won't do that.  Plus again....a scalpel and 100 gamma sterilized blades individually mylared is 2 to 3 dollars cheaper than an exacto with 5 dirty blades.

I think you need a new handle then cause mine never wiggles lol. Sure scalpels are awesome. I just find my particular handle with #11 blades is way easier to work with. Good for cutting out tissue for clones and stabbing little agar pieces and transferring. I used to have a bitch of a time transferring with my scalpel.
