syringe inoculation
    #3783105 - 02/15/05 11:15 AM (19 years, 1 month ago)

Is it necessary to heat the syringe needle or is an alcohol bath sufficient for sterilization? Or is it best to do both?

heat it... all the lab work I have done in my entire life I used a bunson burner and sometimes alcohol on top of that. Why skip a step that takes you 2 minutes to do, and could save you a lot od headache in the end

"I like cigarettes, Miss Taggart. I like to think of fire held in a man's hand. Fire, a dangerous force, tamed at his fingertips. I often wonder about the hours when a man sits alone, watching the smoke of a cigarette, thinking. I wonder what great things have come alive from such hours. When a man thinks, there is a spot of fire alive in his mind---and it is proper that he should have the burning point of a cigarette as his one expression."

yes you need to heat it. reason being that swabbing it with alcohol will only kill contams on the outside of the needle... remember its hollow, so the flame will kill anything sitting inside the needle too..
