How long will a sterilised bottle remain sterile in the fridge?

[shoobaloo]

am about to sterilise some bottles and wondering how long they will remain sterile if unopened with nothing in them.

they should remain sterile until you need them? shouldnt they? I used to work in a lab and we used to steralise our pippete tips and glasswear and then just keep it covered/unopened. We needed our work to be completely 100% sterile and we would often keep things on the shelf for weeks. The only thing different is that we used to sterilise at high temp/high pressure. I should know this, but i don't. I guess it might depend on how you are steralising.

Until they are opened.

you would also think i could spell sterilise as well!!!

Personally would do 24 hours
