Autoclave or not of Sarcosinesodium

Postby abioman on Tue Dec 04, 2007 12:06 pm

Hello,


I'm just wondernig if I should to autoclave 20% sarcosine sodium solution ?

Does somebody know if this solution is autoclavable?


On other hand, do you know where can I found an exhaustive liste of autoclavable or unautoclavable solutions?


Thanks a lot

I don't know how stable it is toward heat. But I would think you could always filter-sterilize it--unless it's too viscous for that. Don't know. Never tried for this compound.

If I remember correctly Sarcosine is a detergent like SDS. A concentrated solution is not really likely to be contaminated, but I guess I would filter sterilize in doubt.
