Old Test

[raptor1973]

I have about half a bottle of test cyp left from a cycle in the spring. It has chunks floating around in it. They don't go away if you shake it. Can I filter it and still use it?

[Johny-too-small]

What do the "chunks" look like? It may be little flakes off the rubber stopper from pushing a pin through it. However, to be on the safe side, filtering it would be a good idea.

I would say they look more like flakes, some small with the odd big one floating around. They weren't there when I put it away so I was unsure if it was still usable. Is there an easy way to filter it?

if the chunks are white and crystaline in apprearance its possible the cyp has partialy crashed,this can be cured by heating it,cyp is prone to crashing specialy if stored in a cold place,leave it to stand in a cup of hot water for 10-20 mins see if they dissolve,alternatively if they are the same colour as the stopper then the stopper has degraded during storage in which case filtering will be fine

post a close up pic if u can so we can get a good look

Here is a pic, I left it in warm water and most of the flakes went away, but the bigger ones are still there was thinking of putting it in boiling water for a few mins. What do you think?

[Johny-too-small]

It looks like it is crashing. I would put it in a water bath and heat it up slow until you see a difference. You can also put it in the oven at 225 degrees for 20 minutes as long as you put a pin in the stopper to let out any pressure build-up. In that case, refilter when finished.

Will do, thanks for the help!!

[skeldno]

Did it work?

[raptor1973]

A couple of the big chunks did nothing but the rest went away. I pulled it out of that vial and it looks good

[scaramouche]

yep,crashing,alls well that ends well
