How do I resterilize syringes for reuse?

I have scoured the Shroomery for an answer for the past 2 hours on this subject to no avail! So could someone tell me how I can safely PC my used syringes for reuse? I used to have the old PF pamphlet that explained it in detail, but I have since sent that old information to a friend on the other side of the US, whom I've lost contact with. I want to primarily use the old syringes to inoculate an LC, and reuse them for making more spore syringes. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

1. remove the plunger
2. place in pressure cooker
3. put water in pressure cooker
4. place lid on pressure cooker and cook for 15 min. @ 15 psi
that should do it. 
p.s. don't forget to wrap in tin foil to keep the syringe off the bottom of the cooker

Don't listen to Uncle mike he is stoned!~

You would wash out the syringe...
then fill the syringe with water...
wrap in alum foil and pressure cook!~
Leaving the plunger in the syringe!~
---
You can either pressure cook them or follow this method....
1. Fill a cooking pot halfway with tap or distilled water (use distilled water if your tap water contains higher levels of minerals and chemicals).
2. Boil the water in the pot on high for a minimum of ten minutes, this should be adequate to sterilize and cleans the water of all bacteria, viruses, and mold spores.
3. Take your empty syringe and fill it with the boiling water. Allow it to sit for two minutes with the hot water inside. (If your syringe was sterility packaged, skip steps 4 and 5).
4. Purge the hot water from the syringe into a sink, not back into the saucepan.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 two or three more times. the last time leave the hot water in the syringe.
6. Place the syringe in a cool draft-free place, preferable in a clean zip-lock bag
7. Allow it to cool for several hours before using.

oh yes!... this works great too...
i have also found out that usually only B-D syringes can be pc'd. They can withstand up to the temps.

Oatman brings up a good point...
not all brands of syringes are autoclaveable.
so test one of your syringes in the pressure cooker... before melting down a bunch of them by making a mistake!~

I also have always just boiled syringes. There's no need to PC anything that doesn't harbor endospores, which plastic does not. RR

i would soak mine in isopropyl for a little bit sometimes longer. then i let them dry disassembled in front of my flowhood while i do extra work. once they are dry i put them inside a spawn bag. this is for sterilizing 20+. i autoclave them for 40 min approx 15 min at 15psi. 40 min because my cooker takes a little to heat up. i open my sterilser in front of my flow hood and then let any moisture evaporate. then i seal with impulse sealer. throw on a shelf and it will stay sterile foever (or so it seems).

if you look in the PF TEK there is a part in there about preparing a spore syringe. I believe it also tells you how to sterilize it there.
