ghetto way (which is very effective) is to suck up boiling water, purge, suck up, purge, suck up .... then before use ... purge ... and then flame sterilize.
or use your PC instead of the boiling water
edit: flame sterilization (where the needle is red) is going to work on the outside and inside of the needle.

Are we talking syringe or actual needle?

Your method sounds most convenient then. Do you draw in air to the syringe before you throw it in?

Yeah you don't need water drawn in syringes. If you need sterile water just pc it in a jar and do the blank/empty syringes in foil or another jar.
Azurs method is very convenient if you're running other things, which let's not joke around, you should be running things. If not get on that.

Will all syringes withstand a 15psi PC cycle?

I don't know about ALL syringes. But vendor type will If wrapped loosely in foil or in a jar. I'd estimate i will last a good 30-50 ninety minute 15psi cycles before the plunger wears away

I'd figure that the plastic material would melt somewhere around mid 300's and PC's only go up to like 250. It shouldn't melt unless it's from China.

16 g x 1 1/2" needle works well for me.

Use 16 gauge needles for LC or bigger. Anything smaller has a much higher chance of clogging on a chunk of myceluim. Spore syringes can get away with much smaller needles. Most vendors will give you 18 gauge needles, though it seems to be sometimes random and you get whatever needles they have in stock because I've got 16 and 18 gauge from the same vendor. If you have a stirbar in your LC give it a real good spin to break up the mycelium before you go to suck up some LC. Some species produce some really thick LC. The morel cultures I'm currently working with can be difficult to pick up even with a 16 gauge.
