It's not the pain in the ass it may seem.

I'm not concerned about sterility of my gear (more concerned about endotoxin but nothing I can do to remove it).

So when it's time to use a new vial. I stick the filtered spike in. Then I can just draw with my luer lock syringe. attach needle. and I'm done. I leave the spike in for the life of the vial.

This avoids the time and expense of a "drawing needle". Or if you use one needle, it keeps it perfectly sharp since you don't have to pierce the rubber.

Thanks for sharing these guides. Does the syringe need to be luer lock, or will luer slip do as well? Also, the way they swipe the flow valve will not cover the inside of it right? So then dust particles, airborne bacteria, etc could collect in there after weeks of use?

Luer slip works too but it's easier to break the spike if you push too much in the tip.

Depends on what spike valve you talking, that one is the most expensive and is flat at the entrance there is like a valve or a membrane for what I have understood (I don't have it). The other have caps that you can just open and close it so that shit doesn't accumulate with time
 
What? No offense but use some common sense. You think a vial adapter is meant to be stuck into a vial, draw one dose, pull it out, and stick another one into the giant hole you just made to draw another dose?

What? No offense, but use some common sense and read the manual:

Various inorganic and organic surface-active substances, solvents (e.g. macrogol/polyethylene glycol and/or benzyl alcohol) in medication or active substances can lead to stress and tension cracks in plastic.

With these aggressive substances we recommend use of the spike for a single aspiration only.

The BA in our oils is so low it probably doesn't matter but regardless, the official recommendation is single aspiration only in that case.

"May" is the operative term. The earlier suggestion was that these were intended for a single draw and that's clearly not the case.

They don't crack from the small amount of BA in a 10ml vial. In fact. 90% of multi dose parenteral drugs have BA in them as a preservative, which would render spikes for "Multi-dose vials" worthless in a medical setting.

"Single use" in the manual goes on to explain not to use with multiple vials because of the risk of cross contamination.

There is a risk of cracking however, from tightening down the luer lock harder than necessary. It's a small plastic nipple, and shouldn't be subject to torque. I broke two early on before realizing a gentle twist is all that's needed.

WTF do you think single aspiration means? I love how the manual literally contradicts you and you still can't admit you're wrong. Good old Dunning Kruger Ghoulber!

It says *MAY* CRACK. That's cover your ass corporate language and as you acknowledged yourself ISN'T LIKELY TO APPLY TO SMALL AMOUNTS IN GEAR.

I've been using them regularly for a year.. The "MAY" in this use case, from practical hands on experience doesn't apply.

Your car's manual has a warning that exceeding the speed limit may lead to serious injury or death. They advise never to drive faster than posted limits.

It also says to use for a single aspiration only. Funny how you'll repeat one part of the manual but not the other. You can't even start attacking me and calling me names right now because you know you're wrong. I'm sorry your fragile ego can't handle it.

LOL so don't buy it, I'll keep recommending it.

Don't forget to run around pointing out the insert for Testosterone Cypionate says:

"Must only be dispensed by the prescription of a licensed medical professional."

Right? That is what it says....dire consequences may follow if not adhered to.

Take a breath, bro. It will be ok.

EDIT: Ahahahaha, ghoul dm'ed me threatening to get millard to try to ban me. That's how fragile his ego is.
C'mon bro, you're going a little over-board. He's volunteering his honest insight into benficial topics and you're trying to beat up on him for nonsense.

I just read your last 20 posts (27% of your overall posts), what have you contributed? I didn't bother trying to read more. I see "Dunning Kruger" a couple times and that's the extent.

If you don't like the info, you don't have to listen to it. If you have something concrete to give an opposing view, please share it. Nit-picking on the manual wording for what is clearly a "multi-use" filter is childish.
