Alcohol for flame sterilizer
    #24918944 - 01/16/18 05:48 PM (7 years, 1 day ago)

AS I am still setting my first glove box a thought occurred to me, is there a specific alcohol I need for my flame sterilizer for it to burn clean?

Straight alcohol. No flavors of anything. Should be fine

Any burning alcohol will work, if it´s very pure it might evaporate of too quick so I just add a pinch of water and it slows down evaporation considerably.

If you’re talking about an alcohol lamp you need denatured alcohol.

Also your glovebox shouldn’t have gloves.
You wear the gloves, not the box

you can't really use a flame to sterilize with a glove box. how would you move the scalpel through the glove? you would have to have the flame inside the box which is stupid. or you need to have a bunch of pre-sterilized tools.

you use a flame with a still air box. you flame outside the box then move the sterilized tool back into the box.

use a propane or butane torch. those alcohol lamps suck IMO

:whathesaid:

I messed around with alcohol lamps for a while, still have a nice one and I never use it.
The torch for a propane torch can be had for less then 10$ and the propane bottles are just a few bucks. I get my propane from the drug store.
I like the Coleman's propane in the green can because they are short and fat and don't tip.

The lamps are more dangerous IMO and take *forever* to get your scalpel glowing. Makes work take way too long
