Why not? For example laboratories reuse the same glass equipment, sometimes for decades without any fear of cross contamination.

- droidist2 9y agoI feel like glass is different than plastic though. Or would we switch to glass in this scenario?
- yoz-y 9y agoGlass is heavy though. I wonder if the additional energy to lug it from one location to another would be worth it.
- ac29 9y agoDisclaimer: Sample size 1. Laboratories definitely worry about cross contamination for reagent (or even worse, culture) containers. The vast majority of containers used in Microbiology labs are disposable and incinerated after use. And they certainly dont drink or eat their contents, which was the point you were responding too.
