[QUOTE="Re-Ride, post: 36450, member: 8395"] Jackie, OP's questions have been answered. A better place for the topic of aseptic technique is a new thread. "Sterility" has a definition. Alcohol alone can not achieve sterility although it tends to preserve it if the technician is very careful. The moment the syringe package is opened it risks loosing sterility. If a single microorganism lands on the needle then by definition it is no longer sterile. That doesn't make it unsafe. The injection techniques we are taught attempt to reduce introduction of viable organisms and spore in to out bloodstream. Bacteriostatic water is used in reconstitution because it is understood that maintaining absolute sterility is nearly impossible in a clinic setting. The handling that I described is unlikely to introduce a significant contamination load i.e. enough organisms to cause infection. I agree that the safest practice is to always use a fresh needle. It's clear that this is not always done. For instance, transferring two aliquots, 5ml each of bac water to reconstitute hCG is often mentioned here. [/QUOTE]
