What to spray inside of SAB? Phenolic or quaternary ammonia or bleach?
    #24927129 - 01/20/18 12:42 AM (6 years, 11 months ago)

I will have a towel under the box, soaked in dilute bleach so falling microbes stick to it. I will spray the air in the box with disinfectant, partly in the hope that microbes are "stuck" and fall. I'll also be spraying the sides of petri dishes before opening them.

Can I use a spray bottle with properly mixed solution, or does an aerosol can work much better? And should I use a phenolic disinfectant or (dettol/chloroxylenol, maybe similar to some formulations of pine-sol) or quaternary ammonia (some formulations of lysol), or dilute bleach? Or something exotic like iodophors or star-san? Cost is no issue, but convenience and safety matter. (Even some environmental concerns matter.) Hell, I could even whip up a batch of paracetic acid or chlorine dioxideβ€”it would be a pain in the ass, but if there's a good reason to choose a certain disinfectant, I'll do it.

I assume 75% isopropyl is less effective than the others. I know it has no residual killing power.
What do you spray the inside of your SAB with?
You may choose only one

I'm thinking not to use quats, since I just read they're all respiratory sensitizers. Maybe quats are fine for wiping things down, but not a great idea for spraying without ventilation. (And having good ventilation would defeat the purpose of a still air box.)

Bleach, alcohol, disinfectants and the like all have no use in a Still Air Box. The only thing you should putting inside it is soapy water. Even using it dry is fine if you are careful.

All of those other things are pointless. All you need to prep your SAB is water with a splash of soap in a spray bottle.

You don't even need to spray at all. But if you do use a very fine mist of water or water plus very very very little drop of dish soap.

It's not a disinfected surface box.
It's not a sanitized air box

It's a still air box. We manipulate and take advantage of physics to achieve aseptic work.
