How long does unconstituted hcg last?

I know that gear and ai/serm last a long time past its expiry date. I was wondering if the same was true for hcg if unmixed and kept in dry powder form.

On a related note, how long do you use the same vial of bacteriostatic water? They come in these 30ml vials and it would be a waste to use a new one for every hcg batch. It says it is good for 30 days after you pierce the top but if refrigerated it should be good for months right? Thanks.

Yep the Chinese generic stuff I'm working my way through is about 4yrs out of date and works just like any other mate.

I don't even keep my bac water in the fridge and use it for several months without issue.
Thanks! The reason why I keep bac water in the fridge is the vial started getting cloudy white after a month left out at in room temp. But when in the fridge it looks to be clear just like before it was pierced.

Do you just store the hcg at room temp? Because during summers it gets super hot inside so I was thinking maybe it might be a good idea to keep it in the fridge as well.
 
Mixed or unmixed HCG should be stored in the fridge, fridge temp should be 2-8deg, bac water is ambient temp 20-25c, it should not be going cloudy at these ambient temps.

If it says 30 days its 30 days, though i use Hospira and it says nothing about mine needing to be used after 30 days once pierced.

Like other multi use vials in hospitals i see no reason why you shouldn't be ok for 3 months, it does after all contain BA.
I just store my unmixed hcg at room temp but I guess there is no harm in keeping it in the fridge. I keep my unpierced bac water at room temp and it is fine but once pierced I keep it in the fridge. I've had vials stay clear for a while and other vials turn cloudy after a month or so at room temp.

I make a batch of hcg and store it in the freezer, lasts 4-5 months or so. I just buy a new vial of bac water every time.
Just trying to stretch the vials. They are cheap but often go out of stock due to shortages.

Good to know that unmixed hcg lasts beyond the expiry date. Bought a bunch in the past that I need to work through.
