[QUOTE="Cataceous, post: 188371, member: 38109"] I've searched and so far cannot find a definitive statement that benzyl benzoate can be the sole preservative in these cases. Even the granddaddy of injectable testosterone, Depo Testosterone, lists benzyl benzoate as an excipient and benzyl alcohol as a preservative. In a case like this it seems as though the main risk of contamination is through dust particles in the air that might carry bacteria. You could minimize the risk if you had access to a clean room for making the transfer. Maybe a more practical alternative is to re-sterilize the vials after the transfer. You should research this further. It may be as simple as putting the vials in the oven for a period, using a needle as a vent. Questions to be answered: Does benzyl benzoate stand up to the heat ok? The testosterone and oil should be fine. What temperature? I seem to recall that something under the boiling point of water is satisfactory, but this should be confirmed with a definitive source. Duration of the procedure?—How long to bake to be assured of sterilization? Will the glass and stoppers of your vials hold up to the heat ok? Med Lab Supply has vials that meet these criteria. Unfortunately, if you assume loss of sterility with each vial puncture then you should have one vial for each dose. [/QUOTE]
