THAW AND REFREEZE

For the most part, I keep 1 vial of Trimix in the fridge and the rest of the vials in the freezer. When the vial in the fridge is empty I will take another vial down from the freezer and place it in the fridge......and I just keep doing that.
My question is can I just keep all vials in the freezer and when I want to inject, thaw the vials, load the syringe, and place the vial back in the freezer.....basically keep thawing and refreezing the vial as I use it? Can I do that? Does it affect the quality of the Trimix or will it last longer (which is why I wanna do it)?

I freeze all my vials and only thaw enough to inject and then they go right back into the freezer. I only notice a drop in efficacy towards the end of the vial when, for me, i have 3-4 injections left. I’m still using vials from 2022.

I thaw and refreeze as needed.

I've been injecting Trimix for about 10 years, and have froze and thawed the Trimix as needed with noticeable reduction in efficacy. Upon receiving the Trimix I draw up several syringes, freeze them and the vial. I remove a syringe out of the freezer as needed. I've been doing that for years and never noticed it effected the Trimix to loose it's potency.

Hi
When freezing a syringe how much free space is needed to prevent breakage of syringe.
I am assuming the trimix being a liquid will expand with freezing.
11 ml is my target injection.
