I was thinking wash, clean and dry before microwaving (as per the diybio FAQ - I read it first! http://openwetware.org/wiki/DIYbio/FAQ/Methods#Microwave_sterilization_of_plastic_tissue_culture_vessels_for_reuse). I've microwaved clean tissue culture plastic to sterilise it before but not used micro plates. So just wanted to see if anyone else had tried before I give it a go.
