nitroglycerin in plastic syringes

Nitroglycerin boluses requested for Cathlab have been drawn up in plastic syringes with 24 hr expiration and placed in amber bag upon delivery. Is anyone else familiar with this practice? typically boluses are drawn straight from untampered original bottle. Thanks for any insights
