Reconstituted my first vial today, decided to filter, I think it went pretty well. 15 but determined concentration based on test data of 17.2mg and did 1.7mL, figured that gives me 6 X 2.5mg draws and the extra 0.2mL can account for the filter holdback or whatever else lost volume.

Ok. I need an eye roll reaction…AndyPanda said:You are. You are easy to identify too. You are the victims in waiting with your masks donned.

There is a filter on the end before the media goes into the syringe. Buying filters is cheaper. And I only filter the vitamin c serum in an ampule. I’m not talented and always smash the top when popping open..AndyPanda said:

These are 13 mm.. 4 mm are more spendy. Usually get those from underground.

After being advised on here to filter, I ordered some of these: https://peptidetest.com/products/ti...4mm-sterile-individually-wrapped-exp-10-31-27
Seems a lot of folks don't have any trouble without filtering, but I figure I might as well. One filter per vial is not too expensive relative to other costs. After seeing posts about people finding visible stuff in their vials, I was pretty set on going the filter route. Maybe my room air isn't suitable for a biolab, but I rarely see shit floating in it.
As far as ampule filtering goes, I have these for ampules: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D95XVN6 and I would definitely recommend filtering any ampule draws to avoid injecting yourself with glass.

You don’t need different filters for ampules. The filter needles are an unnecessary expense. Use one kind of filter for everything.esdsafepoet said:

I don't know if this is accurate. The glass from the ampule could damage the finer membrane on a syringe filter. But I'm just theorizing.FlowerFairy said:

I used them in the hospital when drawing up ampules (I’m old, they don’t generally use them anymore), so I’m going from experience. It was 30 years ago, but experience. Ativan, morphine and mag sulfate used to come in ampules.zpped said:

You drew from an ampule with a syringe filter on? They are meant to be used only in the other direction. I'm not negating your experience, but maybe it was a different filter design 30 years ago?FlowerFairy said:

No, I drew from the ampule with a 4mm filter between a needle and the syringe…zpped said:
Ok, I see the confusion. Someone was saying they bought both kinds of filters. I said the syringe filters weren’t necessary. I wasn’t talking about syringe filters…

Thanks for the insights. I bought the filter needles when ampules were the only use case I had in mind. GLP filtration is new territory for me. I do think filter needles are cheaper, though, which is an advantage if ampules are your only use case.

Yes, and you made me research the filter needles- those are the ones for drawing from ampules; they only filter 5 microns vs 22, which catches glass but lets everything else through. Now I’m off to get filter needles, because I filter ampules too.esdsafepoet said:

I found a box of 100 for $38.00.AndyPanda said:
