100mL vials, sterility question(s)?

**Joseph** · 03-02-2014, 01:10 AM

Hey bro's,

So I have a few 100mL vials and just learned as of a few hours ago that these aren't huge ass vials capped with a rubber stopper as I was hoping... I guess they are just sealed with a twist on cap or some shit? I really wish that I had known this or else I woulda coughed up a few extra bucks at the time and just bought the 10mL vials.

What should I do? Would it be safe to just untwist the cap and toss it in the oven for abit and preload all of my syringes? Never enountered this before and I have not a clue in what I should do so hopefully some sources could chime in here or anyone that has any idea on what the hell I should do.

Thanks as always!

Don't bake your gear.. If you're concerned about sterility you need to run it through a filter. You'll never get it hot enough to kill the dangerous bacteria, and you'll only destroy hormone. Filter it into new sealed vials.

Whoever sent that shit.. It makes me shiver. That's really an unsanitary prep, and if they made that judgement call it makes me wonder how sterile or safe the gear is.. not to mention quality or dosing.

ARL, they are a sponsor here. I wasn't aware that it would have been sent like this or else I would have went with the 10mL vials.

I have read about 5 or 6 recent reviews from reputable people saying it is very good gear but none have them have got the 100mL vials...

They send it sterile, but once you twist the cap off it is exposed to air and to my reading makes it instantly un-sterile. FUCK why wouldn't they send me a god damn filter if they are sending these damn things out. I really wish I would have known they don't even state this when you are purchasing or anything.

I'll tell you this bro, all gear is exposed to air for some extent of time. No one is that thorough even if we should be. Particulates will be the biggest issue so turn off any fans or your ac and heater, just doing that and limiting it to mere minutes will have you a lot more thorough than probably 9.5 out of 10 sources. Scary isn't it. That 100ml prep in that jug makes me nervous of them.
, honestly.

So lets say the gear is sterile, would it be safe in your opinion for me to preload all of my syringes out of the vial for later use if done in a clean environment?

Sorry if these questions are stupid, I have absolutely zero knowledge on this topic.

Thanks..

I wouldn't preload 100mL worth. BA will eat the rubber in the syringe, So I generally wouldn't want it preloaded for more than a few days tops. Some guys do one or two weeks but even then I would be too worried.

Are you positive there wasn't a rubber septum?

**Joseph** · 03-02-2014, 04:45 AM

Well I haven't recieved it yet but I seen a post on it about the same source a couple of months ago and he said there was no rubber septum... that he had to order filters and pre-sterile vials that are crimped already...

I emailed ARL a day ago but still no response so we will see but I doubt they changed since two months ago... I just wish they would have SAID something somewhere that these vials don't come with a damn stopper...

Got any pictures bro, I have never seen those before?

Order you some regular 10ml sealed sterile vials. heat it up( but def. don't boil it) and double filter it into the 10ml. Thats the best I know how to do to be safe.

Thanks for letting us know this. I def. will not be ordering that.
