Sterility question?

[nemesistechs]

I have two 10ml vials on hand, and the foil top is able to twist. Is it still gtg? I have never had this happen before, all my vials have been sealed air tight and were not able to twist. I got it from a sponsor here on the board and only 2 of the 6 bottles he sent me have this

Contact the supplier. They will fix it.

Crimper didn't clamp tight enough. If you have the appropriate syringe filters, i'd run it through one into a new stealed sterile vial and g2g.
Not to mention the supplier replacing them for you, kind of a win-win situation

yah It would be a win win but the guy disappeared...idk when or if he'll be back

Actually, on second thought--
What kind of stopper is in the vial? Butyl rubber or silicone?
Silicone stoppers are superior in terms of durability for multiple-dose vials and temperature resistance, but they tend to be more slippery. You've still got a seal on the vial, even if it can twist.

I think it is butyl rubber stopper

ah, ok. I would recommend drawing out the oil, running it through a syringe filter, and into a new sterile sealed vial
