Thread: Anyway to sterilize a used sealed vial?

    Anyway to sterilize a used sealed vial?

    Got all my gear and pct lined up, ready to start and realized i didnt get another 10ml sealed vial from above sponsor with my purchase to use for HCG.

    Sooooo, i still have the one from last cycle in the fridge with a small amount left in it...prob 4-5months old. Im sure the HCG in it is no good. Can i remove whats in it, flush it with some bac or sterile water and reuse it or..... is there a better way to sterilize it?

    Im not looking for an answer like..."cmon op, spend the xtra and order a new one" unless its recommended by a vet or two!

    Thanks in advance!!!

    Just draw out the old stuff and boil it for 30 minutes (though a pressure cooker would be best).

    May I ask why you wouldn't just get a new vial?

    As stated above I already purchased all my gear and supplies...forgot my 10ml sealed vial. There only $2 sumpin but with delivery puts it up around $12. Kinda silly to spend that on a vial if I don't have too.

    So, drop the vial in and let boil for 1/2 hour, no need for vent pin right? Ring and rubber stopper will not be affected either?

    Thanks!!
