sterilizing q tips
    #23608499 - 09/03/16 04:03 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

Does anyone know a good way to sterilize q tips for swabbing petri dishes with spore solution?  I was thinking of putting them in a jar and PCing them, any reason this wouldn't work?

I wouldn't see why not, maybe wrap them up in a foil pouch and set in a jar with no lid in PC. I'd check the local pharmacy for sterile q-tips. Seems like they should have some, and it'd save you the time and effort.

Dip them in alcohol and let them dry out in a clean container.

Or order online. Way easier. I don't know of anyone who sterilizes their own q-tips.

I sterilize my own q tips. They suck compared to the
good applicators individually wrapped. The spores seem
to have a hard time staying on there.

I put them in a half pint jar and PC them lol

I steralize my own qtips and they work amazing. Wrap two in foil and fold tightly. Load a half pint jar and pc.

The bonds and ties of the life we know break easily. But through eternity one bond remains; the bond of fellowship.
The fellowship of atoms,
of star dust in its endless flight, of suns and worlds,  of gods and men.
The clasped hands of comradeship unite in a bond eternal; the fellowship of spirit.
