sterilizing vials

[The Mad Hatter]

Can anyone tell me how to sterilize a vial?

also, is baking the only way after solution is done? Can I put solution on hot plate or in boiled/hot water?

Best way to do it at home is wash thoroughly with soap/water. Rinse and then again wash/rinse well with isopropyl alchohol...no water this time. Then either let the iso evaporate or better yet, throw it in the oven.

Baking is the only way to sterilize practically, because convection is the only easy way to deliver a specific heat to your solution.
