Shelf live of partial viles

Guys, when a cycle is finished and there's remaining product, what is the rule for shelf live? Thanks.

No true rule of thumb but I would only give it a yr max. The BA should keep it sterile but Test will break down over time.
Oxidization,......... you replaced the drawn oil with air.

Once the needle pieces the rubber stopper sterility is compromised. Personally, I wouldn't save an opened vial for a future cycle but there is no "rule" on shelf life as you can't predict what did or did not get in.
Steveb20 to 30 days is when a hospital would throw it away after the seal is broken.
Thanks guys. Was curious because my MD gives me 1ml a month, was wondering if 10 months was a norm.
