Thread: Sachet oil into old/used vials?

That's a good question bro, thought of that myself. Maybe take off the rubber stopper and dip the vial and rubber probabbly in 90% alcahol for a min or so, air dry and u should be good jus put another needle in the stopper to relieve pressure. What brand sachets are they? Doesn't make a diff jus curious.

Glassware - Supplies

I used to do it all the time with zero problems. As long as you used and continue to use sterile handling techniques it will be fine.

over time and from too many pokes the rubber stoppers break down and can get into the solution......sterile viles are relatively cheap....or pre load a sachet or two at a time

Yes you can, but i would cook the gear after it is in the vial, just to be safe. just hold it over a open flame for a few seconds, bringing it to a boil. then you are sterile again.

Just put an 18g 1.5" pin in the top and put it in the oven for 15-20 mins at 230 degrees.

Bringing a vial to a boil without venting it may cause it to blow up from the pressure inside.

Good catch on the pressure topic TC. Woulda sucked to blow a btl! Ida been pissed!
