Bacti-cinerators and scalpels

Considering getting a Bacti-cinerator for sterilizing my scalpel but noticed on the product decriptions it's intended for needles and inoculation loops. Does this matter much or is there a size/model of cinerator that anyone has found to work well with scalpels?

They do not work well for scalpels. Point it your scalpel is prolly metal, if not it'll melt the plastic ones.
By the time the blade gets red hot the handle isn't far behind.
The only way to remedy this is to have a super long handle and i've got a pretty long scalpel handle.
If I wasn''t so sure everyone here were coppers I'd sell you mine, it's utterly useless. For needles too really because it'll melt the hub by the time the needle is hot.
Inoc loops might be fine but I rarely need one and when I do I use a stripped bread tie.

I prefer propane torches. Cheaper refil and lasts way longer. Butane torches are expensive for ones that last more than a few dabs, days,

No good local source for propane adapters or refills here.

Those tanks don't get refills, well you're not supposed to at least. Then just order a torch head. Leme guess you can buy butane torch local but no blue propane bottles?
