    heat kill test E?

    Will heating a vial of Test E kill the test?

    Looking to drop vial of Test E into hot water prior to injection for ease of pin. Thought I saw a list of temperatures you can heat different types of gear without damaging it.

    Will this kill the test?

    not in a boiling water, warm water is just enough.

    warm water will be fine. I heat the water for a minute or two in the microwave. Do NOT microwave the vial. Warming the vial for a couple of minutes makes it easier to draw it out (also using a larger guage needle to draw it will help). I'm not sure how much warming the test actually helps in pinning, but it definitely helped get stuff like thick t400 out of the vial. Don't forget to wipe the top of the vial with an alcohol prep before immediately before drawing the test and follow all other protocols, as well. good luck.

    Well the difference in pulling out of vial is a non-issue for me as i use a 21 gauge needle to pull but pinning in is night and day difference with a 25 gauge pin. So much more easy and less time consuming with IM shot.

    Will this kill my test is my concern. I do use water straight out of the kettle. Maybe use warm water not hot?

    Heat will not hurt. Cold can crash it.

    you can pour it from the kettle into a bowl and set the vial in it after a couple of minutes. It will not hurt your test. don't submerge the vial or pour the water over the top. just set it in the water bath and wait 2 or 3 minutes. g2g.
