    How long can a open vial be left...?

    Ive opened 2 vials instead of just one - how long can it be exposed to the air before there is a reaction.. and what is the reaction and its effects...thanks!

    Why are you opening the vials? They should have a rubber stopper to draw the contents out through. Opened vials (or amps, if that is what you mean) needs to be used immediately. If left exposed to air, they will easily get contaminated.

    Wipe the rubber stopper over with a alchohol swab before you use it, no big deal.

    I broke one seal - prepared the needle, forgot I already opened the first one,then broke open another. Will the open one last a week, if I cover it with cling film, or something...? Or will I have to throw it?

    as long as the rubber stopper is still in you'll be fine. I've had some 100ml viles for 9 month and there still fine

    I'm still not sure what this guy is talking about. If by "opening"you mean remove the aluminum break-away seal (or plastic lid), and the whole aluminum seal and rubber stopper is still intact, you will be good. If for some reason you removed the whole aluminum seal and rubber stopper, your gear will become contaminated.

    I was wondering the same thing, the way he describes breaking them open I wondered if he meant amps.

    bro, if you're talking about amps, draw the dose up with a needle and save it for your next shot - that'll be fine. If you're talking about a vial... you'll be fine if the rubber top is in tact.

    if you cracked open an amp by mistake then put the oil in a syringe and you can use that anytime later.
