So in the case PTFE sterile capsule filters are scarce. Upon researching and checking chemical compatibly charts Nylon is an acceptable membrane to use for filtering testosterones media. Unless we have something black and white that states not, and I am open to discussion 100%. Check below

Another interesting find is that if you want to meet the industry standard you should be running a gauge to monitor the pressure on the filter. However by doing so you should be using a high quality metal such as 317L stainless per researching. However, you wont find it because I tried. I called a custom metal manufacturer and he stated that special type of metal is so resistant to corrosion they don't just offer it in plain sight.
Why should you be running a gauge because filters break down when you run them to hard.
I got a quote on a stainless 317 - T-Fitting, 2 -90* degree angles with 2 --3/8 barbs, all 1/4 NPT threaded. Roughly the whole small set up cost around $1200 custom made. While it seems 316 stainless is acceptable, 317L is by far superior.
