[QUOTE="Simon7, post: 129595, member: 14795"] I get my Testosterone Enathate in 1ml glass ampules. After I break the ampule open I use a filter needle to draw the Testosterone into five sterile syringes with 0.18ml each which I store in covered with sterile needles with their caps unopened. I use these syringes for my bi-weekly injections for the next 2.5 weeks. The alternative scenario for me would be to draw the entire 1ml testosterone from the broken glass ampule into a sterile vial and to draw before each injection. In such a scenario the testosterone would be exposed pretty much the same to the air in the environment once the ampule is broken (which is the risk highlighted in the link Gene provided above). Thus I prefer the convenience of having ready to inject syringes. Never had a problem with this method. Back in 2015 the FDA flagged some syringes made by BD which used rubber stoppers that may have interacted and affected the potency of certain drugs in stored pre-filled syringes (Testosterone and HCG were not on that list of drugs). BD announced in early 2018 that it replaced the rubber stoppers in these syringes and the issue was resolved. See the link below.
