whatman filter reuse?

[pitbullrocco]

i used a whatman filter for 30ml prop. i had a 60ml syringe and when i was done, i kept the syringe and needle connected to the whatman, so it hasn't been exposed to air since i've transferred.

my question is would it be safe to reuse that same filter to transfer more oil? it was about 10 days ago when i filtered the first time. i know a whatman has a life of many ml's but would this be taking too much a risk as far as airborne's are concerned?

Just get another one. Its not sterile anymore, and especially not after 10 days.
