Twenty Five (25) Sterile and Sealed 10ml AMBER Glass Vial/Bottle perfect for Laboratory use where a sterile environment is needed.  {the listing is for 25 vials}

 THIS LISTING IS FOR 25 VIALS, NEW AMERICAN MADE, BULK PURCHASE, RECENT MANUFACTURE ROBUST!  

The amber glass blocks harmful UV and other rays that would alter or damage the contents; it does take but a few minutes of light to start the degradation process DENATURE THE PROTEINS.

Sterile MEANS No Pathogens (microscopic or other size bugs are dead, probably never got a foothold)

Sterile MEANS No Pyrogens (toxins left over from bugs after they are dead that make you sick)

Sterile through quality manufacture, Sterile through either Autoclave processing, or hi-heat processing, not done by other sellers on Ebay, be careful.

These are brand new Vials, not used, reconditioned or whatever, a few weeks OR LESS out of the factory wholesaler I buy from.
I believe in the ancient tradition of honesty and integrity No fine print, no hidden feedback, my life is an open book, if its not right, I'll make it right, you want your money back, I'll give it back, and you can keep the bottles. YES I DO GET TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF, That's OK,"The Meek Will Inherit the Earth", buy with confidence.

These are of the highest quality Type 1 Borosilicate glass; Purchased new from the Manufactures Wholesaler by the palate. These did not come from an auction, garage sale, etc., very tough and robust, resistant to almost all chemicals.There is nothing wrong with my prices, glass is relatively inexpensive, and you can't buy better vials than this.

PLEASE READ ENTIRE LISTING BEFORE BIDDING.

This listing is for 10ml (plus some additional head space) amber Wheaton borosilicate glass serum bottles (Vials) with a 20mm industry standard opening (outside Diameter).  The size is 24mm diameter x 47mm tall (scientific stuff is always in SI units, there is 25mm to the inch), 1 inch diameter or so about 2 inches tall.  The ruggedness of the bottle facilitates is sterilization by gas, chemical, autoclaving, dry heat, gamma rays.  It is actually a pretty cool looking bottle, I put a lot of stuff in them; see my other Ebay listings. 

I can autoclave these bottles with or without closures. 

These bottles are commonly used for shipping, delivery, and mixing of low toxicity chemicals and biological cultures/media.

Included is an industry standard septa serum synthetic rubber (not latex) closure and aluminum seal, the bottle will come sterile and sealed with a typically a "non removable" aluminum seal, you can remove the plastic part of the seal (Flip Off), it is not replaceable.  Under the aluminum seal is a reusable rubber closure.  The entire assembly is autoclaved with high pressure/temperature steam, and dried under high heat with high vacuum.  

These will come sealed if you want the parts loose, you must ask for it.

This product is packaged in the least expensive container available.
This type of container is used for that purpose.
This container has a "Center Tear out Seal" Not a screw cap.
Center Tear Out Seals are used as they are very inexpensive, for an inexpensive bottle.
This is not for use as a means to facilitate injection into humans, animals, vegetables, or minerals; It is not for injection at all.  Please stop asking me if it for such use, selling items for injection is against US Federal Law.  Merely asking the question has apparently gotten me into trouble with PayPal (don't get me started about their draconian practices); they shut down my account, seized all my money, several thousand dollars, as punishment with no explanation.
To access the contents (open the vial) you simply remove the "tab" covering the center, exposing the rubber under it.

If you don't know what this type of vial is used for you probably don't need, please don't buy it.

Use this vial for storage and culturing bacteria, molds, etc. so long as such culturing is not against any laws, other items can be placed inside, so long as it is within the law.

PLEASE DON'T USE THIS FOR ANY ILLEGAL ACTIVITY, OR INFER SUCH.

How we monitor our processes to assure we are making sterile vials.

We use a Biological Indicator

A biological indicator is the only type of monitor that provides direct evidence that the sterilization process conditions are sufficient to kill bacteria and their spores. The worst kind of bacteria "spawn" from heat resistant spores (their offspring).  The biological indicator (small vials) we use contains Thermophilic Microbes that are highly resistant to the type of sterilization process we are monitoring.

How it is done

Using standard industry practices we include these little units (the yellow and purple small vials in Biological Indicator picture) to verify we're using a safe process to sterilize the vials.  The Vials contain a bacteria called Geobacillus stearothermophilus. (see below for explanation from Wikipedia*)  THESE (BIOLOGICAL INDICATOR VIALS ARE NOT SHIPPED TO CUSTOMER)

We buy these prepared vials specifically for this purpose.  We put one of the small plastic vials which contains the Thermophilic Bacteria, their robust spores, and its nutrients(nutrients are sealed in glass capsule) in with the vials being sterilized into the steam autoclave.  After autoclaving {high temperature and pressure} we pull the little vial out, break its nutrient capsule, and put it in the incubator.  Also we ready another vial (the control) and put it in the incubator.  The incubator holds the test vials at 135º F (57ºC), after a day or so we check the vials.  The biological indicator vial that has been in the autoclave will have all the Thermophilic bacteria and their spores killed and so will not show any growth as indicated by the vial remaining purple in color.  The "Control" vial will be yellow and turbid meaning the vials had "healthy" bacteria and spores to grow; this implies that both vials were good to use as biological indicators.

*Geobacillus stearothermophilus (formally Bacillus stearothermophilus) is a rod-shaped, Gram-positive bacterium and a member of the division Firmicutes.  The bacteria is a thermophile and is widely distributed in soil, hot springs, ocean sediment, and is a cause of spoilage in food products.  It will grow within a temperature range of 30-75 degrees Celsius.  Some strains are capable of oxidizing carbon monoxide aerobically.  It is commonly used as a challenge organism for sterilization validation studies and periodic check of sterilization cycles.  The biological indication contains spores of the organism on filter paper inside a vial.  After sterilizing, the cap is closed, an ampule of growth medium inside of the vial is crushed and the whole vial is incubated.  A color and/or turbidity change indicates the results of the sterilization process; no change indicates that the sterilization conditions were achieved, otherwise the growth of the spores indicates that the sterilization process has not been met.

      I hope I'm not making things worse by addressing this "non-issue" Depyrogenated (not really a word)

     STERILE VIALS HAVE NEVER HAD ANY BIOLOGICAL SUBSTANCES IN THEM (DEFINITION OF STERILE)

      I have been getting a lot of email lately asking me about this.  {I  know things}

      I have been in this business for a long time, vials have always not had any proteins of any type in them.

     Especially (Prions) I suppose what your really worried about (me to)

       From Wikepedia

         Depyrogenation refers to the removal of pyrogens from solution, most commonly from injectable pharmaceuticals.

         A pyrogen is defined as any substance that can cause a fever.

        Bacterial pyrogens include endotoxins and exotoxins, although many pyrogens are endogenous to the host.

        Endotoxins include . . . Endotoxins may become pyrogenic when released into the bloodstream or other tissue where they are not usually found.

        A prion  is a Protein that can fold in multiple, structurally distinct ways, at least one of which is transmissible to other prion proteins.

        It is this form of replication that leads to disease that is similar to viral infection.

       This infectious agent causes mammalian transmissible spongiform encephalopthies, including bovine spongiform encephalopathy

       (BSE, also known as "mad cow disease") . . .

Were on top of it, a good question.
