I've been using 10 mL bottles for 7 years with E3D injections (about 850 total injections) without any injection site infection. Same goes for my HCG, which carries an even higher risk, as it is an aqueous-based injection (about 850 injections). Both products have a preservative to minimize the risk of infection.

    Beyond depending on the preservatives, here are precautions that I take:

    1) Wash my hands before I handle the materials.
    2) Sanitize my hands with a pump or two from a big bottle of Purell that I keep on my desk.
    3) Sanitize the entire area of the injection site by wiping another pump of Purell.
    4) Sanitize the top of the injection vial before inserting the needle.
    5) Clean the specific area to inject with a disposable single-use alcohol wipe. This also removes any residue left behind by the gel ingredients in Purell.
    6) Cover the injection site with the alcohol wipe with slight pressure for about 10 seconds after withdrawing the needle. This also helps to minimize bruising and bleeding.
    What about preloading syringes? Say you have 10-12 weeks to run somersetting so you follow the same sterile method as mentioned but you have all the syringes preloaded since the beginning? Not a good idea or it shouldn't be an issue? I dont draw on a weekly basis just have everything ready for 10-12 weeks at a time

    I preload syringes, but just for 2 weeks. Some say it's a bit unsafe coz the gear can chew on the plastic/rubber end of the plunger, but it's probably not a huge issue. But maybe I'd start to worry if I stored them for 10-12 weeks, dunno.

    I have to preload them because I don't want to draw every week and waste time. I'm not sure how it would be unsafe if there is a plunger issue I would just discard it and get rid of it with no worries.

    I used to preload three weeks at a time. I was using high quality gear though. Highest quality.

    The only issue is some say that too high of a benzyl alc content in the gear can cause the plunger to erode. For this reason I never went over three weeks.

    I never had issue though.
    I had once posted a link about the proper way of storing preloaded syringes via doctor recommendations. Doctors are not chemical engineers though. I think its hilarious when I hear someone say something like, "The doctors said if I had been wearing a helmet it would have broke my neck" etc.

    Wow! A doctor, physicist, bio engineer, architect, that finally has a grasp on kinetic energy!

    Just be sure you store upright and dont get black slag at the plunger imo.

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean, why would storing them upright be necessary? I just have 10-12 weeks worth of syringes just laying on their side in a case. What do you mean upright?

    "I had once posted a link about the proper way of storing preloaded syringes via doctor recommendations"
    Do you have the link somewhere? I just preload them for a few months at a time and I haven't seen issues with storage, clarity, or the plunger issue i've heard about maybe 3 times now and i've been running gear for two years almost

    It is recommended so the fluid does not seep out.

    I dont have a link but it can be googled.
    I thought you were asking about preloading them...

    If you have no issues then no need to change anything.

    Ok, I see
    I'll stick to preloading them for a few months than, Its simple that way rather than loading 2 syringes a week

    I've never pre-loaded that far in advance, but I don't think there will be a huge issue. I have pre-loaded individual syringes for up to 2 weeks of travel with no ill effects. Again common sense precautions need to be applied. One interesting caveat is that I have noticed that if the disinfectant hasn't completely died on your hands before handling the syringe, it can blur the printed ink on the side of the syringe.
