UK Sterile vials

[arron9999]

Hi all,

Im in the uk and struggling to find sterile vials.

I need some 5ml and 10ml. I dont want to buy off amazon unless it truly is sterile and trusted. I have found ks-tec on aliexpress who i know is a real company but its the ali part I dont know of is true.

I just found this on AliExpress:

￡8.63 | Ks-Tek Sterile Empty Vials with Self Healing Injection Port,with Flip Off Aluminum Cap,Sterile Package

https://a.aliexpress.com/_Eu73yCg

Does anyone know if this is legit and they are sterile?

Thanks

I'd like to know the same, as well as their syringe filters to be honest for KS-TEK specifically. I'd hate to go to the lengths to filter and end up worse than if I'd just reconstituted into the vial without filtering. You really need to be able to trust the components at every step and they're so hard to source in the UK. I saw on another forum someone saying they've used 'uk-peptides' for BAC and they do sterile vials but obviously for liability reasons they label everything 'lab use only'. So I personally don't know if that's trustworthy.

Guy from germany here with the same problem.. my solution was buying a cheap autoclave from aliexpres for ~35€ and sterilizing myself. Maybe its not necessary but better safe than sorry.

Hospira sterile vials. I saw this last year. Don't know if they ship to your areas, but it may work for you.

I'm in the UK, Ive used these vials from amazon without issue amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BD72SN3D?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2

and these filters https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06Y15MS8Y?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1

Recently purchased several pens as i inject some peps everyday and purchased the 3ml carts from aliexpress, i just sterilize those in my pressureking pro using distilled water, set on manual and at 140 degrees for 2 hours, then 20 mins in the oven at 180 degrees C get rid of any water in the pouches

If I recall correctly Ks-tek 3ml has been tested sterile by Janoshik. They also have 4mm filters and their own website for ordering.

Sterilized depyrogenated evacuated vials are what you’re looking for. I dont know if they ship abroad, cannot seem to find it on the site. But I get mine here:

20mm, 10ml & 30ml Sterile Evacuated Vials

Lemon Trading and Huayi sterile evacuated vials are certified depyrogenated and sealed. Purchase evacuated glass vials for your medical practice from Farris Laboratories.

I’ve seen some interesting magnified photos on other forums showing stuff inside those ks-tech vials from Amazon and alibaba.

Note: To depyrogenate glassware and other tools which can tolerate high temperatures, bake them at 250°C for 2 hours or at 200°C overnight. Note : Autoclaving sterilizes glassware/tools but does not depyrogenate it.

Sterile pharmaceutical manufacturing demands absolute control over microbial and endotoxin contamination. Two essential processes ensure product safety—sterilization and depyrogenation. While they sound similar, they serve fundamentally different purposes. So, like always here’s a simplified...

I know it’s an old post but in case it’s helpful this is where I just got mine from and they sent ALK vials - which are very good quality. I wasn’t too sure about the KS-TEK vials myself. I got a pack of 5ml but when I opened them they didn’t have any sterilisation markings on them. These were £77.68 delivered for 25x5ml so a bit pricy but I thought there was no point filtering into something I didn’t know was sterile and pyrogen free.

Sterile Empty Vials Clear

Our Sterile Empty Vials Clear come in various sizes and quantities. The vials have been USP Tested for sterility & endotoxins.

I guess you could use the 3ml pen vials if you keep the volume low as I think they mostly come in the individual sterilisation pouches, if you believe them.

I buy these ones (50 in pack)

They are not cheap, by at least I have peace of mind (priceless). These I assure you that are sterile and clean

Ignore the condensation. I've been using those KS TEK sterile vials, after a few dozens pins, so far so good.

Are those 3ml or 5ml? I know the 3ml have a sterility sticker on them and have sterility testing info but I couldn't see the same for the 5ml ones. I have some 5ml ones and they are individually packed in a box but no sterility sticker anywhere.

It is 10ml vials. I don't think there is any sterile sticker

Did you find any I’m tempted to nuke mine in a pressure cooker

This is gonna sound really dumb but I can’t work out why people aren’t using the vials the stuff came in?

Is this for bigger amounts where people don’t want to reconstitute all at once or something?

Because we filter our peptides into a sterile vial.

 

[JokeyJo]

Even tested ones?

I’ve never done that step with tested peptides, because it’s just a chance for more contamination to be introduced. But I’m happy to be persuaded different.

The COAs show peptide purity and volume, but they may also contain particulate impurities and microorganisms like bacteria. Janoshik always filters peptides prior to HPLC analysis, so that analysis is accurate for that vial. But, you aren't using that vial, you are using a different unfiltered one.

Filtering is just another step in the course of harm reduction and one we can take for ourselves. It only takes one nasty ISR or a sinus infection from an unfiltered nasal spray to change your mind. Don't ask me how I know. The odds of induced contamination are low if you follow a hygienic process. Some people never filter, some people always filter. It's a personal choice.

Thanks for the explanation, I appreciate it.
