is this product sterile?

I can not testify if the ink is sterile; tho each bottle has a lot #, Date of MFG, & Best By date. One could only assume that the control factor of this product is very high. I myself have never had an issue using this ink with any customers, some insist on it!.

I haven't looked at it under a microscope. I assume that it is sterile. I have given myself two tattoos with it so far and have not had any issue with this ink. It is made to be used as tattoo ink, so, like the needles and other consumables sold on Amazon, it seems prudent to assume this ink is sterile.

Yes, have done several tattoos with no problems or side affects that some inks have on skin.

We have the earlier model and like it so much we bought two more for my mother and my daughters who are now addicted. It's pretty sterile as long as all you put in it are clean towels/linens, so unless the internal electronics are shorting out, there's nothing to smell. At least our three don't have any noticeable odor(s).

No it's not. I was told, though, by a health food store that it maintains a lot of the natural bacteria for awhile without refrigeration. They pack extra in to allow for it.

Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for contacting Swanson Health Products! We apologize for any concern and we are happy to help. Please be assured that the shipping time is not long enough to have a significant impact on quality. The products are kept in an air-conditioned environment at our warehouses until the time they're shipped to customers. The bottles themselves are made of food grade plastic to protect the product. The bottles also have an internal induction seal to provide an oxygen barrier which reduces oxidation or spoilage. The majority of our product testing is done at off-site labs and the samples sent for testing are not refrigerated during transit to a testing lab. Test results showing the product continues to meet the label claim for potency tell us that the supplements withstand heat during shipment without damage. Our shipping methods are consistent with other large supplement companies. We know of no other mail order company that refrigerates products during shipping. Even if the product is refrigerated when you see it for sale in a retail store, it may not have been refrigerated during shipment to the store. We hope this information brings you peace of mind. As always, we do offer 100% money back guarantee on all products for up to 1 year past the purchase date. If there is anything we can do to further assist you, please let us know! Christy L.

Unfortunately, Swanson Health Products does not ship any item with a cooled environment. We have found that the delivery time is not long enough to damage the quality or potency of the viable organisms in Probiotics. We hope this is helpful. -Swanson Health Products

It is, but there is an expiration date on the product it self, you can also use common bleach bottles, emptied, and unrinsed. Consult a survival guide for best results

As clean as it may be, your answer is NO! It's not steril! Are you kidding me? Nothing sold to commonersis steril, as soon as you touch it! As soon as you open it! Steril is only a state of mind, sorry, but nothing more.

I don't think it is. Maybe by using an anti-bacterial spray it would be. Sorry to not have better information.

No it's not! I've bought 2 and to be honest I can't remember how mine were sealed, if it was at the neck or if it was sealed under the lid, but the two I bought through Amazon WHERE sealed. I learned the hard way on another product in the cosmetic line which told me it was fine and new and I got a terrible infection. So I will no longer accept anything not properly sealed.

I've always used them straight out of the packaging with no problems. That's no garuntee of sterility, of course. If you have to be absolutely sure I'd recommend calling Medela Customer Service.

I have never looked at the expiration date. I have never had any issue of any kind. I still use the product. I always use it in a sterile environment.

Not in my experience. I started using it without any preliminary "curing", and there were no fumes or odors at all.

I started getting product from my dentist before I found it on Amazon. He did not advise refrigeration. I keep them in a closet in my bathroom with no problem.

no. according to the product information it is pre-sanitized. This is amazingly soft also. My granddaughter loves hers.

If you use this aseptically..without touching the end with your fingers or your eye or anything, there is little chance of contamination.
