Sterile vials...sketchy?

There was some condensation at the bottom of the container. I guess there was enough to fill the vial with the popped plunger.

The manual says to release pressure at the end. Next time, I'll let it cool before releasing the valve. Maybe the rapid pressure drop makes the heated air inside push out the plungers.

This is the model I have

Yeah, you're right. I thought you meant the whole process was dry. I don't know how you'd do that with a pressure cooker. I haven't looked into the DIY method. A friend is a professional piercer, so I can use his autoclave if I need one.
 
I threw away the one with water. I'm mostly concerned about the popped plungers. I put one cartridge in an oven, and the plunger popped, which makes me think the heated gas inside is the issue.

Is anyone using a process other than UV? Do the plungers pop for you? What temp? How fast does it heat and cool?

I'm also worried that the pressure cooker releases pressure in bursts, causing pressure drops while it's running. I'm afraid that alone could pop the plungers.
 
They don't pop if you fill them with a pressure relief needle. I use a syringe filter, so filling is naturally slow.

But there's nothing to relieve pressure when sterilizing with heat and steam.
 
For those asking about proper reconstitution, it's really important to get the ratios right for accurate dosing.

What are the main reasons to buy sterile empty vials? To add water to a peptide? Make your own blend?

If you have, say, 5mg of a peptide, you'll need to figure out how much bacteriostatic water (bac water) to add. There are calculators online that can help. For instance, with Sermorelin, some sources say to use 2.5ml of bac water for every 5mg of peptide. This ensures that each unit on your syringe corresponds to a specific dose.

Exactly! I always try to err on the side of *more* dilute rather than less, especially if you're drawing tiny amounts. It can be hard to accurately measure a super concentrated dose, so adding a little extra bac water makes it easier to be precise.
 
I agree that dilution is key for accuracy. When I had to reconstitute GHRP2, I learned that if you mix, for example, 7.5mL of bac water into a 15mg vial, then 0.05mL equals 100mcg. Trying to draw that small amount on a standard syringe is nearly impossible, so it's much easier to work with a more dilute solution. The key is to ensure you calculate the ratios correctly beforehand.
