Yes, Mon Cheri I like how you think

its 100mg/ml how long should he give it to re-crystalize to know for sure it will be ok? dont want it to do this and have it crystalize after shot.

That's not an especially high concentration so I'm surprised it fell out of suspension. Probably didn't add enough acohol. Nuke it or bake it, give it a good shaking and it should suspend again just fine.

i recommended the bb. just did it for some prop that had fallen out of solution. worked perfectly. i know the gear was good because of the 10 bottles, only 2 were effected. if you arent sure of quality then that could be a concern for you.

If there are big chunks at the bottom I would be worried about having really shitty un-sterile gear.

If you do not trust your source I would recommend doing more than simply baking it because baking it will not kill bacteria. To be 100% safe I would add 1% BA to get it sterile and re-filter the gear and place it in a new, sterile vial.

there were big chunks, anyone else think i should take heed to justin's advice?

 

[timtim]

i knew my source and like i said 8 of the 10 prop bottles were good. since the others were clean when i used i knew sterility wasnt an issue.

if you are not sure about sterility than junking the gear maybe a good idea.

just adding ba or bb will help stop the crashing but sterility is of a different, bigger concern.

 

[tempest2003]

would the test chunking up indicate sterility though?

 

[timtim]

i had a huge crystal ball in mine too. that will melt when heated, wont tell much about sterility. you could do the whatman filter and all that but i cant tell you if it will work if the gear is not sterile. if you havent used the gear before i would be alittle concerned but if that was all the gear i could get, i'd try it out and see what happens. prop is painful for a few days. if the first 2 or 3 shots are hot and painful at day 5 and seem to be getting worse, i'd quit it.

 

[tempest2003]

well, id prob do one shot, monitor it and see if any probs arrise, cause i wouldnt want multiple abcesses, not one, but 2 or 3 would be bad. should i order some bb then? also what size filter should i get?
