    wipe the amp with alcohol,
    take small metal file and score the neck
    wrap in towel and SNAP the neck off, this should give you a clean break

    I take a scalpule and score the ampule than wrap a wassh cloth around the ampule and apply pressuree with my thumb and the top will pop of. You do not want to get glass in the mixture

    I'm kind of curious about this too.

    I understand how to break off the tops of amps, but hcg generally comes in 5000iu amps and typical doses are 250 - 500 ius. Does everyone just buy a sterile vile to store their reconstituted hcg?

    Use an insulin syringe to draw with. It measure easier that way anyways, but it also is too small to have to worry about glass being drawn up.

    They usually come together The amount of powder is what matters the most. Once oyu know that you have to then figure how much each part of water will have in it. For ex. if you have 5000iu of powder and 1ml of water (as mine are) then you will want to draw .1ml to get 500 iu for a shot, or if you are doing 1000 iu eod then you can take .2ml. If you use the insulin syringe it is the easiest to measure. Keep in mind that when reconstituting don't agitate the powder, just drip the water down the side of the bottle holding the powder, then refrigerate after mixing.

    Ok I get it. This wasn't cear in your first post. Are you concerned about sterility storing it this was. Seems like you might be leaving a syringe preloaded for quite a while.

    I am not worried about that no. I think there are those that will not be comfortable with it though. I just take the end off of the storage barrel, and stick the new needle in the water and draw. That happens four times per mix. The last time I just use the storage needle since it has never been used. I do 1000 eod so we are talking a week/8 days. I also keep it in a baggie in a container in the fridge.

    Ampules

    I just break them off, by holding the amp with my right hand, and using my left thumb and index finger.It will "pop" when it breaks.This is due to a slight vaccum effect the ampule makes.No worries.No shards of glass to contend with.P.S. I'm right handed Good Luck.Titanium

    Hcg

    5000 i.u. X 1 cc of bac water=5000i.u per cc.
    Take 1 cc of bac h2o, recostitute the powder carefuly.
    I use my own sterile bottles with my own bac h20.
    Inject the 1cc of reconstituded hcg into the bottle.
    Then add 9cc of bac h2o ,for a total of 10 cc's.
    Now you have 500i.u per cc e.d.
    I use small 3cc syringes, and use clean ones each time.
    There cheap to buy.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks T-MOS for my ongoing education.
