Reta batch Qs

[mauve_intransit]

I just started reta last month with Amazon 3ml vials. One vial got filled through a filter, no reaction yet and no instapot. Each carries a lot code and expiry date. Going through the other vial threads the sterility doubt worries me somewhat, since people mention endotoxins/gram negative bacteria. So I ordered certified sterile vials, we'll see. But the manufacturer's site says sterile at 120c for 20 minutes in appropriate sterilization bags, so I do not know what to think. At times people seem to push everything to extremes and make a hobby of their addiction.

Testing has limits, but getting as much info as you can on something you inject is smart. We've seen mislabeled vials, double the mass, empty vials, the wrong compound, two compounds in one, plus more sterility and endotoxin failures lately. Test what you can, use quality bacteriostatic water and filter after reconstituting, that's the harm reduction way.

I did once, half a year back for two Reta kits. I mailed one vial to a lab in another country, $60 for shipping and customs plus $250 for the tests. All fine, but doing it solo was so pricey. Never again lol.
