how 2's on gear sterilization

[urbanbody]

You can tandalize your gear which is boiling 20min and then repeat twice but space 24hrs between. Honestly I do this no matter where I get my gear from or if I make it. You can never be to sure these days.

Can't you just get some sterile sealed vials and some syringe filters and transfer the gear from the original vials to the new vials thru the filters ? There are 10 ml syringes you can get to do it using one pass.

I believe that should work ?

I'm wondering if you can use syringe filters, such as a .22 um to filter the gear before inject.
The question is does this filter bacteria and viruses such as hep c.

These questions are coming about cause some guy has stated on another forum that he contracted hep c from contaminated gear. (whether it's true or not remains to be seen).

Those filters won't stop a virus, which is much smaller than the pore size of the filter. I think its designed for bacteria only.

Best advice, will be 100% sterile.

Standard practice of killing bacteria is to heat in an Autoclave at temps of 250-degrees Fahrenheit. Autoclaves also work under tremendous pressure (15psi or greater). It is the combination of heat and pressure that kills the bacteria. Boiling water only reaches 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Wrong answer.
