Hi guys,
First of all I'm from Brazil, so I can't just buy sterile vials on the internet.
So I bought unsealed vials, seals, stoppers, a crimper.. and sent it to a friend of mine (a dentist), he put the vials and stoppers on the autoclave and crimped later.. ok.
The problem is it seems that no matter how I filter my gear (prop test, bold, enan test) using a .22 sterile syringe filter, I can see some small, almost microscopial, particules/lint in my gear especially if I shake it.
It's really just a little and very very small..
It always takes 5-10 minutes looking and swirling the gear to find some.
I couldn't get it on a pcture to show for you..
In fact, till yesterday I was using the stuff without even notice that it has this particles..
I already took five shots (from the test prop) and it hurts and swell reaally bad (5%ba 15%bb) sometimes I feel some low-grade fever too. It get really bad within 24-48h after the shot and starts to get better in about 72h.. (but may take 4-5 days to be 100%).
Till now there wasn't any other "side effects"..
But this pain and swell seems pretty normal and usual at this level of BA and because it's my first shots from this ester too.
The vials are sterile (for sure) but the guy that esterilized didn't cleaned the vials and stoppers before (with alcohol/ba/isoprop or whathever) for get rid of all particles/dust.
He just put it all on the autoclave the way I sent it..
What you guys think about it?
Should I just move on and keep using the stuff?
If not, how can I get rid of any kind of particles for sure? (please without using much fancy stuff)
I tried just now to apen a vial and clean it with 190 proof grain alcohol, but I don't think it will wash all particles, it seems that a really tiny particle may always be there.
Thanks in advance..
