Hi,
If I understand correctly Test E melting point is 34-39° C (93-102 ° F).
I would like to heat my pharma grade test e before injecting it to minimize pip and scaring tissue.
I have test e mixed with castor oil which is a fairly thick carrier oil.
Below the viscosity of castor oil. At room temprature 21° C (70° F) the viscosity is fairly high (around 750) but if I heat it to 34° C (93° F) the viscosity will be divided by a factor of 2 (around 350). I think by pushing higher to 40°C the viscosity will be even lower.
Now I have a heating pad that can heat at 40° C (93° F). My intention is to let the test ampule, the seringes, the filter needle get heated to 40°C (93° F) during 10 minutes. Then I will draw the oil in the serynge and put back the serynge in the heating pad to heat it back again so it reaches around 38° C (100° F) during 5 minutes. Then inject in the muscle.
Now the questions I ask myself are :
1) how much test e will degrade at 40°C for 15 minutes ?
2) Why does the manufacturer (Bayer in my case) is using castor oil instead of a less ticker oil as grape seed oil.
3) By heating the loaded serynge in the heating pad during 5 minutes, is there a risk that I am not 100% clean anymore.
I now I am overthinkg this a lot but I think it's fun to try to understand the pharmacology properties of what you are injecting in your body.
