PGE-1 Storage Questions

I've got a follow up question to this, now. I know that quadmix is usually stored in a bottle with a rubber stopper, and you plunge the needle through the rubber stopper. Is this necessary for my own pge-1 mix, or can I just use a mason jar and forget about the stopper? Also where would I buy such a quadmix bottle if it turned out I needed it.

Are you serious?? If what you have isn't in a sterile/sealed vial, DON'T USE IT!!!

What I ordered is in a sterile, sealed vial. I'm just wondering about what kind of container I need for the PGE-1 mix.

Ok, it looks like I need a sterile vial, solid rubber stopper to plunge the needle through, and then a cap over that. Anyone know the best places to find this stuff?

OK, got everything and done with reconstitution. Reconstitution was a complete drag. PGE-1 came in a 2cc vial. Problem is it's not super soluble in bacteriostatic water, so I injected 1.5 cc water through the rubber stopper, then mixed until the water was saturated, and moved that saturated mix into my vial. Then I had to repeat that about 25 times before I had all my PGE-1 mixed up.

Unfortunately one of my two vials is starting to crack a bit, so I have to order an extra vial. Still happy to have reconstituted successfully and safely.

Tomorrow I get to learn how to inject myself. Now that's gonna be FUN

I've actually still got a few plastic vials laying around from the bacteriostatic water. Would I be OK moving the PGE-1 back to them, or should I buy some new vials?

I want to do an experiment because the amount of quadmix i have is going to last me well over 6 months and past the expiry date.

Even though BathmateG told me not to freeze it i want to see if when i use it what difference it makes.

I am going to freeze about 3ml. I have an small empty bottle. Will pouring in boiling water and emptying it out again be sufficient to sterilize it?
Can I then just pour in the quadmix and freeze it without worry of infecting myself when i thaw it out and inject it over the following few months?

Did you ever freeze then try to use the frozen PGE1 to see if it was still effective?
