Thread: floaters in my test

  1. #1
    Due to the packaging of my test, I need to transfer to sterile vials. I transfered 20ml last week and noticed today there we're little white things floating around in it. It kind of looks like small pieces of lint. I filter my gear every time, so I figured I blew the filter out pushing it through too fast. I refiltered MUCH slower into new vials only to find the same thing happened. What gives? I don't think this looks like its crashed.

    Crashed gear looks more like little clear crystals. What kind of filters are you using? The gear might have ESO in it and could be melting your filter membrane.

    I meant EO. Ethyl Oleate. Its typically used to make higher concentration of gear but it melts some filter membrane.

    Well sorry man hopefully you're still watching this. I'm using relatively cheap filters. Scientific Strategies 0.2um. I will trying to dig a little deeper into my test to determine whether or not it contains ESO. Its pretty much garbage if it does, correct? Since there really will be no way to clean it out?

    You might still be able to save it with some good filters. Get some Whatman syringe filters. It may take some work to find them sold individually but they are out there.
    These should work.

    Thanks for the help brother! I'll defiantly be going get these, and refilter. As for now I've transferred 6ml into a new vial unfiltered and have dosed twice since; still alive.

    Also do you have some info/link that shows EO's effect on filter systems?
