Hot Bead Sterilisers

The text on this page is taken from an informal compilation of opinions of contributors to the online VOLE List. As such, they are not peer reviewed and may contain differences of opinion. Those wishing to contact the list may contact Adrian Smith.

Does anyone have any Guidance of Use, or SOPs, along the lines of: "if you are going to use a Hot Bead Sterilisers, at least use it properly in this way...", that they would be happy to share, please? Unfortunately we're having some persistent pushing to want to use them.

Or, if anyone has a really good rebuttal statement/policy that they also wouldn't mind sharing, that too would be very gratefully received!

I use as guidelines the 3rd video on this site (Procedures with Care) http://www.procedureswithcare.org.uk/aseptic-technique-in-rodent-surgery-tutorial
