sterilisation - (Oct/03/2006 )

Hey guys, i was wondering what are the best processes to sterilise the following:

1) Heat labile plastic tips
2) 1% (w/v) tryptophan in water
3) A delicate oxygen electrode
4) Test tubes with metal caps

radiation (gamma?) sterilization. but you are probably not equipped to do this.

1) Heat labile plastic tips
Gas sterilization (check your university hospital) or see if you can buy them individually packaged.

2) 1% (w/v) tryptophan in water
Filter sterilize.

3) A delicate oxygen electrode
Check with the company that made it.

4) Test tubes with metal caps
You could bake them... or gas sterilize.
