How does testing for endotoxins indicate that the vial is completely sterile?This was a vial from the October oils promo. It had a large white floater in it (see picture below), as well as some smaller fibrous floaters.
As you can see from the results, the concentration of the active pharmaceutical ingredient is spot on, and in line with previous tests. More importantly, the endotoxin test did not detect any contamination. This implies with high likelihood that the vial contents are completely sterile, and that the manufacturing environment is well controlled.
Since even this 'worst case' type vial with visible floaters does not reveal any sterility or endotoxin issues, I personally conclude that all QSC oils are safe to inject after they have been re-filtered to remove both visible and invisible particulates (floaters). Hopefully, in the coming months QSC will further optimize their manufacturing process to remove the occurrence of floaters completely. Even then, I will continue to re-filter all my gear, independent of the specific source.

Is this what you envisioned with your surveillance or enhanced testing?
Bargain Bathtub brewed gear (now get 50% more floaters for free) is g2g! Some filtering required. This is harm reduction?
Previously, gear with floaters indicated a source that DID NOT CARE. They would be given a chance to correct it and if it continued to be an issue, they got run off the board.
This is not what you want when you order injectables. Terrible source. They should sell it in media jars as “semi-finished” gear. That way there is no confusion that it MUST BE FILTERED because there’s a bunch of shit floating around in it.
You are correct to point out that limitation. The standard endotoxin assays detect only Gram-negative bacterial endotoxins. There may in principle be contamination with Gram-positive bacteria, which produce exotoxins or endospores that won't be picked up by the test. Or fungi that produce fungal spores.How does testing for endotoxins indicate that the vial is completely sterile?

Yours? Come here. I can’t find it. I’m squinty eyed like chinaman and I still no see little teeny tiny yellow penis.eat a dick, sucker
IF I was buying tracy's finished oils, I would go the 1 liter way and filter it into presterilized 30-50ml vials and spike em.
A lot of people that buy the vials have been getting into filtering, lots of members asking about it and where to get what is needed for it.
That's why a thread with all the info together is a must.
I would have started it, already, but this is all thanks to Ghoul, so it's only fair it should be his thread.
Sampei, too, has been finding lots of products for everyone in Europe.
The great value in endotoxin testing is it provides a picture of the overall lab process....you can remove bacteria, but not endotoxin. Every bit of "sloppiness", from leaving a container of raws open, allowing outside air to enter the brewing area, not cleaning vessels, etc, all increases endotoxin levels.
A pharma factory produced vial and one brewed in a dirty toilet will appear "sterile" in testing, but the later will be very high in endotoxin.
You should tag me then.You should have tagged the BigNoOne guy who is objecting to this test having any relevance.
The outrage at testing a Qsc product with floaters.
I mean, it's here, might as well, right?
No.
Idk what he is complaining about.
He should be happy that, despite the floaters he has been proven right.
Zero endotoxins. What are you going about, Ghoul?
Nada.
Let's see him get Tracy off the board.
It's worth keeping my account active just for that.
Thank you, though.
