Dear all,
Some undergroud labs are not removing their solvents properly, so it is possible that there are significant residues in your gear, like chloroform, ether, hexane, acetone, methanol, depending on how they processed it. Of course, this may induce serious adverse side-effects. A simple way to test for solvents is as follows:
-Put your needle very tightly on your syringe.
-Put the plunger completely down.
-Insert the needle well into your liquid,
-then aspirate with lots of force by pulling back the plunger completely.
This creates a relatively good vacuum. The liquid is now going into the syringe, and if bubbles appear in the liquid, it means there are solvents present, which are boiling at room temperature at low pressure.
