Try heating it up in water, then give it a swirl. Here's a site that might help.

Ok first of all what is the concentration of your fina? anything that is over 75-100mg/ml will increase your chances of crystalization because kits are designed for only 75 and 100 at the most. goin higher than that will yield more pain and lower the solubility of the active ingredient. Just heat and swirl and repeat until the solution is clear. If I were you I would coffee filter it one more time then use whatman and sterilize it.
