Poor man's syringe filter

[black sheep]

A Whatman will NOT keep you from getting an infection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The filter wil ONLY FILTER OUT PARTICLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It WILL NOT FILTER OUT BACTERIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was not implying that the whatman would clean bacteria from the gear. I was implying that by using a non-sterile method of wadding up non-sterile q-tips with non-sterile hands and then putting your gear through it would more likely add bacteria to the solution.

I would only use cotton for a 29 gauge needle. Anything bigger might suck up cotton and one would get cotton fever, which (trust me) sucks very, very, very, very, bad. You guys are too anal. I've seen hundreds, if not thousands of IV injections through q-tip tops, no infections.

I think I am just fine being anal about sterile injections.

nothin will come up in a 20gauge unless your opening them with a hammer

Whenever I used amps, sometimes a piece of the glass might fall in, so I just drew up around the glass.

Simply use 25 gauge + pins and suck the fluid out. Your pin is your filter. No glass will get in if you draw around it. Have you ever seen a doctor go thru whatmans or other? NO. They draw and shoot.

If your a pussy thought get whats called a syrynge filter. It attaches to the pin before the casing. Is good for 1-10cc etc.
