EU: Medical supplies and storage

This is my supply cabinet in the garage. I keep two different brands of syringes in 31g 8mm along with 100 of the 0.5ml and 1ml sizes from each. I also have 3ml and 5ml luer lock syringes plus 1.5 inch and 1 inch 27g luer lock needles for reconstituting and filtering. There are cheap 1ml luer lock syringes with 27g 1 inch needles for recon and purging the filter. I use 100 of the 13mm filters along with extra clean vials in 3 5 and 10ml sizes and alcohol wipes. The picture is from April so it is not current. The other two pictures show one of my storage cases that holds 288 3ml vials and I have two of those racks for reconstituting and filtering.

Alternatives to the usual cold storage option are listed here. One that works well is a food thermos with four equal size containers inside. The containers match the height for 3ml vials if the stainless liner is left out and each has a water tight gasketed lid. Thirty seven vials fit per container with no movement for a total of 148. Lunch boxes of various sizes and shapes can be found ranging from low to moderate cost. Cylindrical silicone inserts are also available. Pyrex style food containers with airtight lids work for the fridge. Soft pen cases with a thermometer are inexpensive. Sterile cartridges for the injection pen come from sellers with high volume sales and sterile filters are available individually packaged in 4 13 or 25mm sizes with PES or PTFE membranes at 0.22 or 0.1 micron. PTFE works for air filtration on a venting needle or as a particle filter when making stock solution.

These contributors know the gear well so I will not go deep. For storage I keep everything in drawers of a cube storage unit. Items that do not fit the white built in drawers go into the gray mini storage unit drawers. On deck peptides stay in a small 3D printed case. The copper insert was printed locally. Deep freeze peptides go in the usual cold storage holder though alternatives from certain marketplaces are mentioned elsewhere. I use two types of desiccant silicone bags for larger areas and flat fiber ones for small areas. A stand with plunger that fits two cartridges and two 3ml vials was printed locally from a modified design. A stainless steel tray helps during reconstituting so syringe ends stay off the table and items do not roll. Labeling holders keep labels straight though this is very unnecessary.
