I have thought about it, and the water (which is sterile anyway since its soaking in alcohol which means it isnt a problem) gets wiped away usually. If not, it evaporates away with the alcohol though..the alcohol dosent seperate from the water and evaporate first. The extra water causes the 70/30 alcohol/water mixture to evaporate slower giving it more contact time with organisims, so the water is doing something.

Scats on the money. 70% alc evaps much slower than 90% alc.

The advantage is that this allows the alc to have much more time to work (sanitize) before the mixture evaps.

OK ive chilled. lets put the tahoe issue aside.
what i do is, wipe down my work area, tools, and the outside of jars ect. w/ 15% bleach. spray the air w/ 70% isopropel, cut 50% by h2o, so that's about 35%, i think.
reason for this? ive seen too many posts about exploding glove boxes.
and i don't wanna post pix of my arms with all the hair burned off.
trust me the specs above are clean enough for agar work. :syringe:

actually it doesn't work that way.
alcohol evaporates faster than water but you don't need to spray that much.
what we are trying to do here is, saturate any spores in the air and let gravity take it to the forest floor :smile: :smile:
this could be done w/ distilled water alone, but a little iso. helps if you  accidentally drop something on the floor of the glove box. :smirk:

I use lemon scented Lysol brand Neutra-Air. according to Lysol, it works better than Oust at killing air born bacteria.

tahoe,

I do thank you...for the pm asking me to delete your post.

I have deleted your post and have deleted the quotes from your post for the safety of others.

Please think before you post stuff like that.
You could have hurt someone really bad.

Mixing Chemicals like the ones that you mentioned...you know better.

I'm going to give you a warning on this one.
Because someone could have been hurt really bad if they had taken your advice.

Please be the person...that I know you can be. :smile:

Enough said...lets get back on topic.
