Whatman Filter Question

[tripwire]

I recently received some test in stealth sachets. I made a terrible mistake, and transferred the test from the sachets into empty HGH vials. Although the bottles appeared empty, the residue from the HGH made the test turn foggy. The test Im talking about is a test blend. I think the solution is this. I purchased some sealed, empty, sterile vials. Then I plan to use a whatman filter to suck the test from the HGH bottles and transfer it into the new sterile vials I purchased.
I can get two different types of whatman filters. They are available in .20u, and .45u. First of all, is this a good solution? Second, is a .20u filter going to remove some of the test from the oil? Or should I go with the .45u filter? Any help would be appreciated.
I only have one 2.5 ml bottle of this "foggy" test. If I ruined it, i will just throw it away.
But I also have an unopened sachet with about 6ml of test in it. I want to use a filter to transfer it to the sterile vial. I believe this is necessary after exposing it to the atmosphere. So even in this case, I need to know what kind of filter I need to transfer the test without removing the test particles from the oil.

It's likely water in which case filtering isn't going to clear it up.

 

[The Dude]

.45 is fine

I was thinking the same thing, I personally don't think the filters are going to do anything, but you can try. Either one would work though.

I got a nasty infection in my quad after using this "foggy" test. Do you think it's from the hgh residue in the test? I take all sterile precautions. New pins, alcohol wipes, etc. I had to go to the ER to get antibiotic injection and prednisone. The next day my upper body skin was blood red, I had a resting heart rate of 110, my blood pressure was 133/90. This lasted for 5 days. I thought I was going to die. No appetite, I couldn't sleep, I was ready to kill someone. One night I couldnt sleep, so I went to the gym, hoping this would calm me down. I stretched a little, then did 10 leg presses. My heart rate went right to 168. I thought I was going to stroke out. I went back to the hospital and found out I was having a reaction to the prednisone. Needless to say, the only way I got any sleep was with those little blue pills. I lost 7 lbs over those 5 days.
Anyway, this foggy test I have "supertest" causes a lot of PIP. And in one case an infection. Even though you guys don't think the whatman filter will remove the "fog/water", do you think it's worth filtering? I think the only reason it caused an infection, is because it came in a sachet, and it was exposed to the air while transferring to a bottle.

Yea bro, I'd definitely say try it and see, it won't do anything negative. If it does nothing, you're not out much as those filters aren't expensive. You can also bake the bottle and see if that'll sterilize the contents at all

I will try that, hopefully it will make the water evaporate from the oil.

Stealth has had a few issues with sterility. I'd add a little BA and filter it after heating it.

Exactly., BA and reheat and filter to kill And remove anything that can cause harm.... Even heat and filter twice.. Don't f around and end up
worse bro..

 

[big in vegas]

Any luck bro?

 

[bigghorn]

Any luck bro?

Lot a help you are.. He's disappeared! Lol..

Im sorry, Here I am. Just been busy at work. I try to get on here everyday, but sometimes I just dont get a chance. I going to do exactly what bigghorn suggested. I ordered .45u whatman filters, they should be here today or tomorrow. Im going to vent my vial, bake, Im thinking like 250 degrees. Then Im going to remove the liquid from the vial through the whatman filter. I also ordered some pre sealed sterile 10 ml vials. I will put the liquid I just filtered into these new vials.
This infection I got was bad. I do not want to risk infection again. If it doesnt look like it worked "very well", I will just throw it away. Its just one vial. But as I mentioned before, I still have unopened sachets. I have to remove the gear from them and put it into a vial. Doing this will expose the gear to the atmosphere. So Im going to use the filters for transferring this gear too.
I have decided that I will no longer purchase gear in sachets.
My infection has almost completely healed. I still have a lump on my quad, but the pain and redness is gone.
As soon as I get the filters I will do this procedure we have talked about, and I will let you all know the results. Thanks again for your help!

Hey tripw order a Pyrex beaker or use a Pyrex measuring cup that's been sanitized with 100% alcohol. Not the 70% alcohol cause it has too much water in it.. Take alcohol rinse Pyrex whatever u are using grab hairdryer on high and blow dry it . Then pour sachets into that and do the sanitize gig.. Glad you're on the mend bro.. Wasn't dissen ya either just talking shit to Wv cause the mc reps need it sometime.. Lol..

You may need two Pyrex cups and do the filter back and forth method.. No worry about open atmosphere just make area wiped down good with the alcohol and filter while warm for ease of transfer.. Like basic homebrew method..
I believe the Gd/x 45 will filter 100ml per filter.whatmanfilter.com if u need info too.

OK, I got my whatman filters. They didnt help. There was too much HGH residue in the bottle and it ruined the supertest. Fortunately, it was only a 2.5 mL bottle. I just threw it away. Infact I could see small "balls" of HGH/water that still didnt mix with the oil. I dont know for sure that this was the cause of my infection, but probably so. Thanks for all of the help. And as you stated bigghorn, I will use the remaining filters for transferring the remaining sachets.
I just ordered some ampules. Im scared of this infection thing now. Im thinking ampules have to be sterile, right?

Yeah 2.5 ml is chicken scratch compared to a dam medical bill.. All amps are sterile . Buy the 100 % alcohol and wipe amps down before popping the top. Are you using amp opener or just tiny file to score the line for a clean break.? After scoring wipe off amp again. Now I don't want to paranoid you but they make filter needle tips that you use to draw outa amp for safety of any super fine glass particles.. Now I have gotten lazy and when super clean break I don't use filter needle tip.. Amp openers available online. Let me know if you need to know where.. Google as Presser would say bro.. I warm amp with hairdryer to thin oil too before snappin top..

 

[big in vegas]

Amps are extremely more sterile bro

 

[big in vegas]

Just be very careful not to get any glass shards in the gear

I already got my amp opener. I thought whatman filters were the only way to filter, i just found these pins you are talking about with a small filter built into them. Much cheaper than whatman filters. Human grade amps are more expensive, using a whatman wastes some of the gear, so I'm glad I found these filtered pins.

Bamm..,filter tip needles are made for amps in medical field .. Aas isn't the only product put into amps.. My tips are 21g and you can see the filter right at the joint of needle to plastic end..

Bigghorn, do you remove the pin and filter tip, then draw the liquid with barrel only, then replace the filter tip? Then inject while filtering at the same time?
OR
Do you draw with the filter tip, then discard the filter tip, replace with regular needle, and inject.
I imagine option #2 is the correct way. Just wondering which way the filter is designed to work? Filter the liquid going in, or filter the liquid going out?
