Re: My $15 Scalpel Sterilizer Made Out of a Brick [Re: Mycosperiment]
    #25193000 - 05/09/18 07:10 AM (5 years, 9 months ago)

My first tests of this device failed.  I might not have left the loop in long enough so I tried another test today but so far both the Blue oyster transfer I did with the loop and the contaminated liquid test grew contamination after 3 days or less.

I haven't completely given up on this idea but it hasn't replaced the torch flame yet.

EDIT:  Another test making sure to leave the tools inside the device long enough did work.  I still prefer the torch because it is faster and gets the tools glowing red hot.  The homemade device doesn't cause the tools to glow so there is no visual indication that they have been heated long enough to kill anything on them but it also doesn't damage the thin scalpel blades as fast as the flame does.
