sachets and staying sterile

[NoYokes]

I am just curious about these new sachets. I know preloading a syringe and not using it right away stays sterile, but changing the needle before using it is a must. What if you dont want to use the whole dose in the sachet? I would think you could leave it in the syringe for later, but what if you put in an empty vial of the same aas? Bad idea?

you can pick up sterile vials from ar-r. Would be the best way to do it. Remove from the sachet and inject into the sterile vial then just remove as needed

You can do that as long as the vial is sterile and you have only inserted sterile needles. Just watch out for worn out rubber stoppers. There was a post on here a few weeks ago about rubber pieces in the gear from a worn out stopper. When the vial is finnished, replace the stopper or get a new vial. Check out AR-R.com.

I store mine in 10ml syringes, just take off the pin insert with syringe and pin you are loading and draw it out. Replace the pin on the 10ml and preload. Never had a problem, nor have several of my friends. There has been lots of debate about which method is best. Which ever your comfortable with is best as long as you use sterile equipment. Just do a search on sachets and you'll see what I mean.

Thanks for the help. I will check out that site and read up.

yeah be careful of the worn out rubber stoppers,
Frank here is referring to me because the stopper was old or something and i used an 18guage to fill the vial. I would suggest using a smaller guage like a 22 or a 23. Or you could always just fill up pins and keep them until you use them. But make sure you change the needle before shooting because little peices of metal and stuff could be in there from when you poked the sachet.
