1st Filtering experience...TIRZ 20 mg w/2.0 BAC

Mostly posting a "thanks" to those that have helped newcomers understand the value of filtering, proper equipment and procedures....

My wife wanted to start TIRZ, and given my stock is CH UGL, i wanted to give her the best I could. The lypholized pucks from my source all have tested well, but out of 30+ vials, i did observe what looks like a stopper core shred laying on top of one, clean white puck. Went on to acquire nylon .22 nm(?) 13mm filters, with 25s delayed, some sterile vials and 3ml syringes.

1st vial is a TIRZ 20 mg, reconstituted with 2.0 ml BAC. I prewet the filter with a fresh draw of BAC, then filtered. Was surprised that the down stream end of the filter was not luer lock, but pressure fit cone...the luer lock needle did fit snugly, and didn't blow off.

Surprised/not surprised when my 13mm filter became plugged solid (would not pass air or TIRZ for the last few drops ~.03ml or so...). So thanks again to @Ghoul and others that have described this as not unusual, hence the need for 25mm filters in the storehouse.

Anyway she injected this am, and i felt like i have taken all the prudent steps to mitigate the risk of using these supposedly tested UGL peps. We both know USA pharma would be ideal but cost prohibitive and thus a barrier to the quality of life benefits they make available. If you are contemplating filtering, give it a try. I am probably not going to filter everything i pin...but definitely will do hers (sounds stupid...but my risk call).

Next on deck are TESA and some Test Cyp and HGH in a few months when i come off the TESA.

QUESTION: Other Peps I am researching include RETA,MOTS-C, NAD+, IPA, GHK/TB/BPA.....from this list are there any you would prioritize filtering?

Are there any filtering differences I should be aware of? differences from doing OILS vs lypholized PEPS?
 
I am new to filtering so, asking for critique frankly and also confirmation on things like using the luer lock needle on the smooth end of the filter.

Not sure what you mean about new step...just saying what i did.

I will probably use a 25mm on my 2ml vials of TIRZ to avoid a plug adding a new filter to complete the task....for the other substances will try a 13mm to see if they plug or pass the whole load without plug, then adjust technique going forward based on that.

You want to use PES, not nylon filters for peptides man, nylon hangs onto protein.
 
did i miss a "new step" and only use a 25mm syringe filter even for peptides? That what going on now? tia

A 13mm, even a 4mm syringe filter *should* be sufficient for a single vial of any peptide.

But I've encountered many that completely clog a 13mm filter before the entire vial is processed. A pretty good sign something's fucked up, but that's another topic.

As a practical matter 25mm will prevent this from happening, cost roughly the same, and the main concern, "holdup volume" or liquid trapped in the filter, the reason you choose the smallest needed, is inconsequential with a 25mm as long as you're reconstituting with 2ml+.
 
definitely filter Tesamorelin and mots-c. I hate to even use the word, but tesa will aggregate and mota-c has the highest reaction risk from what I’ve seen. I took 2mg tesa + 5mg mots one morning and almost had to go grab the epi.

Anyway, people are filtering test cyp?!
 
come on man , there's SEVERAL posts about the whole filtering processes,, geez :/
Kinda agree disagree...I searched all forums and read the first two pages of links. Alternate recommendation search @Ghoul posts....he has responded kindly a number of times to various individuals but somehow they didn't pop in my search.,. Probably my error and also my experience with search

that search function is a chore to figure out,, im still trying to figure it all the way out myself, Ghoul has posted several techniques etc, all the way down to where to source filters/vials from , has also been "DISCUSSED at LENGTH",,
 
Is this common practice? I have never filtered a peptide, or anything for that matter.

Common in any lab setting prior to injecting any peptide into living tissue, animal or human, or where an experiment requires sterility, or when an injector pen is being filled by a manufacturer.
 
Thank you. In your experience would you say most people here do this? Or many just reconstitute and inject?

Majority still reconstitute and inject.

But then there was a time not too long again here on Meso when the majority of homebrewers didn't filter sterilize gear ("boiling kills bacteria, idiot!"), used insufficient .45um filters, or going back pre-AIDS saw no issue sharing needles at the gym ("don't be a pussy, do I look sick bro?").
