When drawing from an ampule? I've always had vials in the past and don't remember reading about many using them. Just want to be as safe as I can.

nope not me....just when home brewing
syringe filters like whatmans etc? i wouldn't recommend using them for drawing purposes... 1st it only works one way (syringe-filter-vial) and 2nd it would be way too complicated to do it every time u want to draw... i don't see the need to do that either?
When I mentioned I would be using amps next time to my wife which is a nurse she said I would need one in case of possible glass chippings. Just wanted to ask.
if u do a nice and clean break there won't be any... get an amp opener if u afraid of shattering the amps...
use a small gauge needle to draw with....one that glass cant fit!
Only when homebrewing... so several times a week. But never when drawing from a vial or amp, what's the point?
I've never used one... and never injected a piece of glass either (that I know of at least).
Probably not a bad idea tho. However, I'm sure it's going to increase waste as you'll loose some of your gear in the filter.
I think it you just stick to a smaller guage pin you'll be fine. I crushed some amps pretty good, and still didn't have any problems with a 23ga drawing pin. Clean breaks and a 25ga drawing pin should be pretty safe (although slow).
TAKE A NAIL FILE AND SAND THE NECK OF THE AMP THEN BREAK...IT WILL BREAK CLEAN EVERY TIME WITH NO CHIPS

Thanks again guys. My other magically dissappeared.lol
I see get pins sells an actual amp opening tool and it's cheap so I'll probably pick one up.
