<![CDATA[Caution- amazon 3ml pen vials]]>Just a friendly reminder that some things on Amazon are unsafe. Got a batch of 3ml pen vials to review this week and they have not been processed. Which means the are not sterile.

Also I would prefer if it was children in the sweat shop as they are better workers...

This is purely sarcastic and a joke

Chemclave is old school with chemical, heat and pressure. nobody does that anymore. at least not in the states

Because I have a pressure cooker but have no clue what or how "clave" is. Color changing labels etc.

I used another to experiment and I got the area damp with water and then tried a heat gun, they will not change color if you do that.
It was only five, I got them for free, I have them clearly marked and will use them for future experiments like testing pen accuracy.

Autoclaving was my life. Dentistry for 30 years.

I should mention I spent a small fortune figuring out who actually claves these and there's a few companies or resellers that produce the "sterile bags" that wont change color when steam is applied. Im not sure how much money that saves them but it cant be much.

At an angle and not sitting flush. Only half the cap was crimped due to the way the cap was sitting. Definitely looked like factory seconds.

Another vial didnt even have the cap placed on it correctly...I'll post a picture when i get back home.

I have bought from them a few times and the bar has been black (though it might still be sus).

I think going forward i am just buying from Randy or maybe making a kitchen autoclave.
