Question about vials

[Tommy Wall]

Hi,


I finally ordered 10 vials. That way I don´t need to preload syringes from ampoules.

How many time can you refill the same vial before you having to sterilize it?
Can I sterilize the vials like boiling them or something or just buy new ones?

They vials came with flip top and once it´s put off you can´t put it back, meaning I have to store it without any cap on top. However ithe vial is not open it is protected by rubber and the rest that surround the top of the vial. Please see the attachment.

I store the vial in a plastic bag with some disinfection liquid and some alcohol inside the bag.
Is that ok?

If someone thinks these ones are not good. Pls suggest something that I buy on ebay.

Many thx!

Id treat them as disposable rather trying to sterilize.

I imagine that one vial will last you 2 months or so, and at a couple of dollars a piece it's simply not worth the risk to save that amount. Best thing to do would be to treat them as disposable.

The points raised above are on target. Don't put yourself at any risk, no matter how small it may be, for something that's not likely to save you any real money.

The risk of you using a contaminated vial isn't worth some chump change. Treat the vials as disposable, and just accept it as the cost of doing business.
