By mistake I ordered a non sterile syringe filter to make some BAC, problem is the non sterile filter comes tomorrow but I need to water soon. By using a non sterile filter is it gonna cause infection?
Sterile or non sterile filter

Well is the filter autoclavable?
Can you run a sterilizing liquid through it first?
I have used them w no problems. I have also used coffee filters to filter GS oil to use as a cutter w some painfull prop. Water is more prone to bacteria, I would say filter some ba or reg alcohal then run your water through there. Then add some ba to your water.

I read in some wise book that paper filters aren't suitable to filtration injectable solutions. During filtration little fabric pieces are detaching from the filter which can contaminate filtered solution.

It depends. But coffe filters aren't. I don't mean sterility issue but contamination by fabric.
Oh I have used a coffee filter before when in a bind.

When in a bind? That's mean in hard situation? And you are ok so that's good!
Yes I had some painfull prop I needed to dilute. So I used the coffee filter to sterolize some grape seed oil.
No PIP.
No infection, I got lucky.

Man you really were lucky....I don't know if we should even post a story like that some newbie might get brave and find themselves with a hell of a case of cellulitis
