Questionable cart sterility?

I recently purchased some empty cartridges online, but I'm now questioning whether they're actually sterile. Anyone have experience with this?
 
If you're worried, you could try sterilizing them yourself. Steam sterilization in a pressure cooker is an option. It's not a guarantee, but it's better than nothing. Make sure the plungers are loose so the steam can reach all surfaces. Indicators are often unreliable. A medical supply vendor would be a safer bet.
 
I read somewhere that carts from a certain store on that big website are sterile because of testing done on a test server, but I don't know for sure!
 
I got a bunch during a sale, the listing said sterilized, but the indicator was the wrong color! So I loosened the stoppers and steamed them for a while, then baked to dry them. The indicator did change after that.
 
I just pushed them in a little bit to make them loose. The first time, I didn't even touch them, and they popped out during the drying stage. I just ordered a vacuum jar someone suggested to suck them out first.
 
Here are a few vendors that passed some testing back in June:

Heaven Island
HDRSMTMED
Henan Dunyu
Duren Health
Summer Xia Choice
 
I bought three pens from a certain website and one broke already! The plunger stopped working. Guess you get what you pay for. I'm buying better ones now. Any recommendations?
 
I'm tempted to switch back to insulin syringes and just inject each peptide individually. It's a hassle and uses a lot of syringes, but maybe it's safer.
