Dirty gear????

**Zodiac82** · 06-28-2013, 07:38 AM

Is there any way to tell if your gear is dirty....besides and infection, what would be the tell-tale sign? Unusual pip? Stinging sensation?

Is there a test kit of some sort you can buy?

thanks

If you have any doubt to it being sterile I'd filter & autoclave.. And find a new source.

And filter out of your vial into the new sterile one

Be careful what you watch on Youtube... Watch several videos & go with a guy that seems like he's educated... Filtering it without autoclaving it just exposes it to air & desterilizes it completely. An autoclave is basically a pressure cooker, and can be substituted for one. But like I was saying, be cautious on what to follow on YouTube, you won't always get the well educated advice you get on this forum.
