If the water came to a full boil, and stayed that way for at least two minutes, it is sterile by any medical standard, yes. However, it must be immediately used or bottled in sterile bottles, or the sterility is lost quickly

∙ 15y agoMaintaining aseptic conditions in a water sample is extremely difficult. However, the presence of culturable organisms can be determined by plating out the organisms on suitable growth media and counting the number of colony forming units. The results can then be expressed in terms of CFUs/l of water.

Boy unless it is used quickly or stored in a sterile bottle

Can I Substitute boiled water for distilled water?
No. They are not the same. Distilled water is only water. Boiled water will likely contain minerals.
What is the difference between sterile distilled water and sterile water?
Sterile distilled water has no microbial contamination and is distilled and and sterile water merely has no microbial contamination.Distillation is the process of separation by heating a liquid until it evaporates and then condensing the steam back into a purer liquid as all contamination remains in the part which does not evaporate.
Will boiled distilled water no longer have oxygen?
Even boiled distilled water will still have oxygen, but the oxygen will not be in elemental form as a dissolved gas.
Is distilled water the same as distillation?
Boiled water is not the same as distilled water. Distilled water is boiled until it turns to steam, as the steam cools the water is recollected, so what you have is pure water. Boiled water is boiled just until it is sterilized and bacteria has been removed.
What is the difference between boiled water distilled aater and tap water?
theoretically water when boiled becomes distilled water, boiling water gets rid of any impurities in tap water...so you could say boiled water which is then cooled is cleaner than tap water
Is boiled water distilled water?
No, boiled water is simply boiled. Distilled water is when the steam from the boiling is gathered and rebottled.
Can you use sterile water in place of distilled water in a cigar humidor?
Yes. Just make sure it is a medical grade sterile water. Don't use boiled tap water. Ideally you should use propylene glycol (PG) as well.

Are sterile water and sterile distilled water the same?
no. Distilled water has had all chemicals and minerals removed, usually by steaming and re-condensation. Sterile water has been treated, usually heat treated, to destroy pathogens (any living organisms). So, you can sterilize distilled water, but not all distilled water is sterile. manufacturing criteria do NOT require that regular distilled water be packaged to prevent contamination. Water sold as sterile water must be packaged to avoid contamination. On the other hand, water full of minerals can be sterilized; the minerals are still present. So if you want mineral free, organism free water, you need sterile distilled; if just mineral free, distilled.

Can you use boiled water in battery?
No, only use distilled water.

How is water distilled?
Distillation is achieved by boiling the water and collecting and cooling the evaporate in a sterile container.
Is flouride in distilled water?
No. Fluoride does not break down when water is boiled and remains in the distilling vessel.
Is water condensed from air conditioner is distilled?
Indeed it is. Almost. There may be impurities, because it has not been boiled to evaporation temperature. Do not use it as 'distilled' water.
