Sterility and light

[SofaGeorge]

Many people collect partially used amps over the years. You start out with a 10cc or 20cc vial of test, deca, or whatever... and may end up at times with 3-4 cc's of unused juice. I've always tossed these out after they've sat in a desk drawer for 6 months to two years under the idea that by having the rubber stopper punctured and the element of time... the risk of them being unsterile was simply too high for them to ever be used again.

I was recently discussing this with a friend... and he asked the question "Could you use 'light' to sterilize them?"

Light itself is often used to sterilize equipment for hospital procedures. His theory was... why not put old juice in a clear glass bottle and expose it for an hour or so to direct light from a 100 or 200 watt bulb.

This type of procedure is already used to sterilize everything from toothbrushes to scapals. Why wouldn't it work for juice?

I honestly didn't have a clue one way or another as to what to even say about this. Does anyone have any insight?

Could you enhance sterility by exposing juice to bright light for a prolonged period of time?

I have not heard about using regular light to sterilize anything but I know they use ultraviolet lights to do so.
Not sure how it works and how would work on juice in the bottle.
I would be concerned that the light would damage the hormone. The bottle is suppose to be kept away from light.

But I dont know much about the topic.

UV light works,but for maximun effeciency adding ozone is a surefire 100% safe method.

Not sure how this would affect gear,the determining factor would be the length of time the produce is exposed .

Just bake it or put it in boiling water. Even if you dont, its still fine. No need to.
