Re: Re: Mannitol warming for decrystalizing

We use a Winthrop Pharmaceutical contrast media warmer
We have had it for years, it will keep up to 12 bags
and we can fit 2 cases of mannitol vials in it. Our hospital is in South Dakota so in the winter almost
all of our mannitol is crystalized when we get it.

Re: Re: Re: Mannitol warming for decrystalizing

We send any vials that have crystalizing over to sterile processing and in a very short time they return them good as new. We keep all of our vials in a hot box with the light bulb like others have said and that usually is all it takes. We don't have very many that ever need any attention.

Re: Mannitol warming for decrystalizing

I appreciate all of your input on the many ways to de-crystalize my mannitol. I finially went to the farm supply store as Colleen suggested and got an egg incubator, thank you Colleen. It works great!!!
