sterilizing needles
    #5920033 - 07/31/06 09:30 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

ive always heard the way to do this is to use a lighter and heat the needle til glowing, then let cool.

but doesnt that kill spores in the needle?

is it just that spores a microcopic and theres tons of them in the needle, that its not that big of a deal?

correct, no big deal, unless you're hard up for spores... haha

i flame and wipe clean with an alcohol swab.

Some people just flame and inject, some people just swab and inject.

I do flame and swab because it makes me feel better.

I use rubbing alcohol then lighter.

I inoculated directly after the needle gets red hot... YES you may kill some spores, but an insignificant amount... the water from the syringe will quickly cool down the tip of the needle, maybe .1ml of syringe will go to waste

The fact that you KNOW the needle is sterile when its red hot, is exactly the reason you want to inoculate as SOON as your needle gets hot... the loss of .1ml is insignificant
