Sterilizing A Used Syringe
Materials needed:
Used or a non-sterile empty syringe
Two quart (or larger) saucepan
One bottle of 91% isopropyl alcohol and a cup to pour it into.
A lighter or alcohol flame
Procedure One: Making a sterile syringe
1. Fill your saucepan 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 saucepan on high for a minimum of ten minutes,
this should be adequate to sterilize and cleans the water of all bacteria and
viruses.
3. Take your empty syringe and fill it with the boiling water. Allow it
to sit for two minutes with the hot water inside.
4. Purge the hot water from the syringe into a sink, not back into the
saucepan.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 two more times...so it is empty of water.
6. Place the syringe in a small cup of 91% alcohol and suck-up the
alcohol into the syringe. Leave the syringe needle submersed in the alcohol
and place it all into your Glove Box.
The needle is now clean and ready to be used. Just
make sure that you eject all of the alcohol that is within the syringe back into
the cup and wipe the needle with an alcohol soaked paper towel. Take
a lighter and flame the needle for a few seconds before using it.
