Got an autoclave

[colossus25]

I'm a fucking manufacturer in China. I've run a few sterilizers in my fucking day. OP is filling vials and sealing them. Then attempting to autoclave

Why you so mad bro?

 

[fightingfires]

Just took another look at basskillers chart of melt points for various steroids....about 90% of them are above what the autoclave temp of 249F....so how on earth will this ruin his gear? Love an explanation of this

 

[colossus25]

I just wanted to know who you are i mean youre coming in here and telling everybody whats what without even an intro lol

 

[fightingfires]

ok back to high school son....but where exactly is this steam coming from? Not the oil if its USP grade...not the hormone...not the BA or BB.....where exactly?

I have never heard of anyone pressure cooking gear. You can use a pressure cooker to sterilize vials and stoppers. Then DRY them as they'll be wet from steam. The only thing needed to sterilze the media is BA at 1% and a micron filter. Put that in a sterile vial with a sterile stopper, you don't need further sterilization.
Ideally, you're also filling in a positive pressuer environment, but I don't see that being the case.

and as I've said.....lots of guys bake gear to similar temps and I'm not hearing any horror stories of caps blowing off if....guess your chinese raws must be full of moisture

Steam is coming from the water that a pressure cooker/sterilizer uses to create heat and pressure.

Sad thing is.....I'VE ACTUALLY BAKED GEAR so it is real life experience vs anecdotal

Well since youre a "manufacturer in china" does that mean youre gonna be a new source on our board? (Sorry bros dont mean to hijack the thread)

I apologize for not making an intro before posting. I was hoping to keep OP from either ruining his gear or doing something that has no point.

 

[fightingfires]

guess the same knowledge used in in your answer is being used by most chinese raw suppliers to make their raws lately

You do NOT vent vials when autoclaving. Otherwise you got the process down basically n

Looks like someone here can't grasp the ideA

 

[6Fingers-Pharma]

LOL. No, I will not be bringing my moist raws to you. I would never want someone baking my shit.
I pray someone with some actual aseptic knowledge you will listen to will clear things up for you. Best of luck in your endeavors

I dont know you so im not going to doubt your credentials but you gotta come correct on here man. These guys will chew you alive....

@Docd187123 care to explain it to the asshat? I know you have talked of autoclaving finished gear.

 

[6Fingers-Pharma]

You should go read Bill's article. It's fitting.
OP, so you autoclaved sealed vials?

 

[fightingfires]

OP....if in doubt. Just run with a vial of GSO for the first time. That way you will have the first hand experience too. And...nothing beats a practice run

 

[Docd187123]

So if the vials are sealed, what is the point of autoclaving?

Bc wet heat typically penetrates better than dry heat and is an effective method of sterilization.

 

[Docd187123]

You don't autoclave after you fill vials. Your gear will be ruined, likely blowing the caps and stoppers out like bullets!!!
WTF?!
Tell me I am misreading it because I keep reading hoping it says something different

Ive done it a bunch of times. Nothing you say here will happen at 15psi. NOTHING.

 

[6Fingers-Pharma]

So you're saying you add BA to gear, push it thru a micron filter and into a sterilized vial, seal it up, and then autoclave it?
