What I'm trying to do is draw 1ml of HCG out of a glass ampule to transfer to a sterile vial (w/out glass shards included). So my challenge is that the filter you suggest I believe is too large for this task and the filter itself would 'soak' up the entire HCG.

I do know where to get the blunt tip filters, however, they are expensive and I only need a couple, not 100 for $100. Any ideas to solve this task cheaply would be appreciated.

I'm in the same boat, and trying to find a solution for this too.

I been brakeing amps for years (I don't think I ever had glass in them.)tryto practice on the water solution .
1- the amp breaker works well it brakes clean with my experience
2- before the amp breaker I use to snap it with duct tape wrapped around the top..
3- you can lightly saw it with scissors put duct tape then snap it
Remember our gotta sterilize the bottle to
With practice on the solution should help.
Hope this helps

Ampule Cutter/Opener - Medlab Gear

-this is the best ampule opener you can buy. It will give you a clean cut to avoid glass shards.

Why not open it, reconstitute with Bacteriostatic Water (assuming it is lyophilized) which would provide sterility courtesy of the Benzyl Alcohol, and simply transfer with a normal syringe/18g (doesn't need to be blunt) If you want to further dilute beyond the amount a ampule can hold, do so once you transfer into a sterile vial.

BD PrecisionGlide 18G 1" Needle - Medlab Gear

- You can buy as little as 25 for $5.99

and transfer into a sterile vial option:

@MedLabGear
His ampule cutter is most definitely the best one i used so far

 

[Sdryx]

Thanks for the help. I think I'll go with the ampule cutter for now. However, I was reading of microscopic glass contamination that you would not be able to see just looking.

This post references some articles on it.

The filter in a blunt filter needle is NOT for sterilization. It is to keep the microscopic shards of glass (from ampoule breaking) not to get sucked to the syringe and then injected to body. At least in my country it is normal procedure in medicine to use the blunt filter needle with glass ampoules.

Here is a nice UK document
http://www.cmft.nhs.uk/directorates/mentor/documents/InjectionTechnique.pdf
which has a page on glass particle contamination. It also has good information on "Z tracking" injection technique, highly suggested.

Some documents from pubmed
Glass contamination in parenterally administered ... [J Adv Nurs. 2004] - PubMed - NCBI
Glass particle contamination: influence of as... [Anesthesiology. 1989] - PubMed - NCBI

How are you opening the ampules?

I used 22 amps of alflutop broke them all with my hands and an alcohol pad never had an issue

 

[Roger rabbit]

I know a few people who score them first. Then the top just snaps off cleanly. No glass

 

[Sdryx]

I break them with my hands. I'm not sure if I'm just being paranoid, but have read of there being microscopic glass that you cannot see.

Similar to watching a sneeze in slow motion. There is much smaller particles exploding everywhere when it breaks.

Get an ampule opener for $9. If nothing else it'll pay for itself the first time you destroy an ampule opening it with your hands.

I got everything fast as fuck! Thank you @MedLabGear.

Some extras and overall excellent service, communication and prices. Will definitely be recommended. I will be ordering again.

The ampule opener by the way looks GREAT. Don't ask, but I found out the hard way what the dot on an ampule means.

 

[Cramps88]

I have to say the same thing @MedLabGear . Everything was great. Perfect customer service and super fast shipping . I got some extras as well. This is the only place that I'll go to for these needs. The baby carrot plungers are awesome.

Normally I'll drop the price of Bacteriostatic Water to the cheapest on the internet which is roughly $3.89 for a couple days, offer free boxes of insulin syringes to orders over $50 and mark down a couple of overstock items.

No need to sir, where I am, I have everything I need and more as long as you take good care of my guys I am a happy camper! I am reffering you to my customers for sterile vials, injects and needles, BA water to dilute the Ovitrelle they get from me. Mighty Mouse and other few spoke highly of you and that is enough for me.

Best Regards
