Elite Labs

I'm a little confused about this as well. @Weston said he asked about testing for bacteria and was told by Analyzer that he couldn't do that. And the conversation that @Marcus had with @Analyzer posted here, specifically says per Analyzer, "I cannot test for microbial content". Bacteria are microbes. I am also not arguing and am not looking for a debate. I'm just confused. Maybe @Analyzer can chime in here and clarify because I think there are several members here that think the gear from Elite that @Weston had tested was "contaminant" free. And it very well may be, but if the dude says he can't test for microbes it could still have bacterial contamination thus giving members a false sense of sterility. Just looking out for everyone. Me included. I pinned some of his gear as well.

By organic contaminats I meant other small organic molecules like other steroids, drugs, solvents.. (in general molecules with MW less than 500 g/mol). If you are interested in content of any compound which is usually present in samples like BB, I can test how much is inside.
However I can not detect presence of any microorganisms or other biological material in the sample.

Thank you for your clarification sir.
 
IMG_7224.PNG I have a solution to testing gear for microbes. Specficilly bacteria. All one would need to do is buy a few MacConkey and Blood Agar bi-plates, draw up some gear with a sterile syringe and squirt a tiny bit of solution onto one of these plates. Run some tape around the edges to prevent anything from getting inside, then stick it in your garage for 2-3 days. If there are gram positive bacteria in the gear like strep or staph, it will grow on the blood agar. If there is gram negative bacteria like ecoli or pseudomonas it will grow on the MacConkey side. I used to work in a microbiology lab. Just a thought. Cheap too.

Interesting^^^I'm guessing one would need a microscope and some knowledge to identify exactly what you cultured or do they change color when bacteria are present?

Yeah you would if that knowledge was important to you. Although, I don't think it would be important to me to identify exactly what organism is growing on the plate. I would just feel confident that if any bacteria colonization formed, that I would have determined the gear was contaminated and I would surely not be injecting it into my ass.
