Re: [DIYbio] Autoclaving 2d printer cartridges?

The cartridges are probably made of ABS plastic which isn't autoclavable. The best plastic for the autoclave is polypropylene. Also the microfluidic circuits might get damaged by the temp alone. Not sure if it will handle it. Why not a bath in light bleach or print with it using a head cleaning cycle. Maybe hydrogen peroxide?

Subject: [DIYbio] Autoclaving 2d printer cartridges?

ello!

Has anyone done this? I have put together a couple of diybio machines and I integrated one with a 3d printer as hey it was easier than all the fiddly wiring with the cd drives. So I was looking at autoclaving these cartridges... has anyone tried this and did they work afterwards? I was going to remove the electronics on the bottom but I suspect reattaching them will not be feasible...

Thanks,
jem
