Ks-Tek Vials?

I have also recently started using ks-tek vials from aliexpress. They seem to be held quite high in quality/reliability compared to other amazon/China vials . Obviously not top of the line compared to global health giants products. But here in Sweden/Europe its hard to buy medical supplies so i will continue using ks-tek vials but i will keep an eye out for any testing with bad results or bad reviews

Are we talking about how the manufacturer sterilizes the vials? Or sterilizing vials for reuse?

That is how the manufacturer says they sterilized the vials. I am assuming (and hoping) in an autoclave or validated sterile process and not just some other way.
 
I have read on various sites that KS-Tek vials recently ailed a sterility test. I have not seen a source for that information however. Does anyone know the actual story?
 
UPDATE:

I received the Ultra Spec Sterile 2ML (13mm neck) Clear Sealed Glass Vials from MedLab. They are nice glass bottles, but i ordered 50 so they came in 2 sealed packs of 25. Lot #'s etc, they have a sterile process. I feel like you're still taking a chance even with these as I had to move them to a different container once I opened the 25 pack. I did and will wash them down with alcohol, hell I would like to just store them in BA until I needed to use them if I was sure it wouldn't degrade the stopper. MedSupply does Provide the below where they do state they test for Endotoxins. So I will likely continue with them going forward.

ULTRA SPEC sterile depyrogenated vials are assembled with Teflon coated non-latex chlorobutyl rubber stoppers (conforming with USP<381>) and vials made of glass tubing (conforming to USP<660>). All vials are assembled under Class 100 regulations. All lots of vials are tested for Sterility (USP<71>), Bacterial Endotoxins (USP<85>), and Particulates (USP <788>). Certificates of Analysis and test results are available upon request.

Due to its low alkali content, this is a premium neutral glass tubing of the first hydrolytic class. Thanks to it's superior hydrolytic resistance, the risk of glass delamination is significantly reduced and interaction between the contained product and container surface are at a bare minimum, thereby providing a superior packaging solution for sensitive ingredients. This special glass has outstanding chemical resistance, neutrality, impermeability, and strength. Apart from being a perfect neutral glass container for injectable solutions, these vials also make a particularly safe packaging medium for biotechnological products.

All ULTRA SPEC® vials have tight geometric tolerances and low cosmetic defect levels due to 100% camera inspection of dimensional parameters and critical cosmetic defects. All Vials are manufactured and packed in environmentally controlled areas certified by ISO 9001 and ISO 15378. As a Type I glass (neutral glass Type I Class B, as per ASTM E438 standard) it meets all pharmacopeia requirements in Europe, the USA and Japan. These vials are suitable for laboratory use and sterile storage. These vials are not 510(k) cleared or intended to be used as a medical device or for any pharmaceutical packaging.
