Flaming Needles?
    #26993366 - 10/19/20 05:41 PM (4 years, 2 months ago)

How many folks here flame sterilize their needles after using a alcohol wipe while using a SAB?

First way you posting here?
Second way you using alcohol on your sterile needles?
Third if your needle is packed sterile it shouldn't need flaming, with this said I do flame mine, but not because the needle isn't sterile.

Fire > IPA - theres no reason to wipe them if you are going to heat them till red later.  It definitely doesn't hurt to wipe the body of the syringe with IPA though.  You should do all of your clean work in a SAB or in front of a flowhood.

If you carefully remove the needle from the wrapper and put it on the syringe you don't need to flame for the first use.

If I was working with PF tek jars in an SAB I would probably do the whole batch in one go without flaming between jars.

Otherwise I flame and then squirt a small amount into a discard cup to cool it back down.

This thread was moved from Shroomery Polls.

Reason:
Better fit here. Also, OP was lacking a poll.

Flame the needle, yes.

Wipe the needle, no.

Where if you're alone, you know, you either come through it or you die, but in any case you avoid the fuss.'"
