I have a friend who washed his vials with alcohol , covered them with foil , put In oven at 250 degrees to dry and sterilize and as I was outfront shooting hoops I hear explosion and go inside to see front of the oven door blown open and vials busted everywhere in front of the oven. True story.. I never laughed so hard In my life when I saw the look on his face ..priceless..
He now owns a 250 $ autoclave mini. Lol.
Gas range or electric would blow. Its cause he sealed tops with foil trapping the methyl alcohol and then fuk the world explosion happened . For sale used oven.
.brand name " bombinator" 20 $.

How would an autoclave be much more effective for cleaning out vials than just rinsing? Sterilization isn't a concern for me (I have other stages in the process that take care of overall sterility). I already have a heavy duty pressure cooker that I use as an autoclave, but not for this purpose.
What do you guys think of using compressed air to blast particulates out of vials? I'm observing a bit more losses than I'd be content with due to (albeit sterile) floaters (mostly tiny black particles) that I fail to see when inspecting the vials/stoppers before dispensing. Considering either the compressed air approach or getting an ultrasonic cleaner, obviously that introduces a drying stage, but with the bath being 99% isopropyl that shouldn't take long/much effort.
Do you mean your glass ware or actual vials for your aas? If so then surely buying new would be a better idea lol.
I filter my gear into a 500-1l lab flask and its the cleaning and sterilising of that which concerns me the most, but iv had no problems with it so far so my way must be fine.
Its basicly boiling water and a decent washing up liquid squirted into it, shake like mad, empty, fill with water again, and repeat over and over till the flask is clear of bubbles, then dry then flush out with 99% isopropanol alcohol, the cook for 30mins at max temp using dry heat (oven) then its ready to reuse.
I did used to use a brush that I pushed in but found it left particles so took longer to clean out to make sure it was good to go.
5litre jesus! Is that a flask?
