Used a PES filter by mistake.

[Hendrix11]

On my last batch of Test E, due to an oversight and not paying attention when I bought them, i bought 12 Autofill 250ml PES filters . I realise now PES is for thinner more viscous liquids.

It took around 3 hours to filter 100ml, my question is, Will this still be sterile or will I need to re-filter with a PVDF or Nylon one?

I reckon I will be ebaying 11 PES filters anyway, was like pulling teeth.

If you got a sterile PES filter it should still be sterile, assuming you filtered correctly. PES filters are best for aqueous solutions like you said but The one thing to watch out for is the acidity of your solution. I'm not sure what Ph will deteriorate the filter but they're sensitive to acidity from what I've read.

Yeah it was a sterile filter, I did a little research and it dosent seem to be compatible with BB, so this I'm thinking could cause damage to the filter.

Get the Nalgene .45 Nylon and refilter..

My partner did this first few times,
until I read PES is for water based brews..

My partners 2 PES filters broke while filtering, which
is why I did some research..

 

[MANWHORE]

If there are no particles in the brew, then you are GTG..

How much BA did you use?

 

[Hendrix11]

No particles, is really clear, BA I used 2ml 2%, I'm thinking should be ok.

Out of interest, what kind of filter would you use between the two clamped flasks?

 

[MANWHORE]

Nylon.. Nalgene worked good for me, but
I guess any brand will do as long as it's Nylon

 

[Frankensteroids]

you can use till 3% BA with PES filters, BB i don't know

Thanks Frank

Why a .45 and not a .2?

 

[Docd187123]

Why a .45 and not a .2?

Don't use a 0.45um filter. Use the 0.22/0.20um

 

[MANWHORE]

Why a .45 and not a .2?

What?

 

[kap73]

I have personally used PES with no dramas, filtered fine and injected fine

Not saying its perfect but it has worked for me

 

[MANWHORE]

Not filtering it would work too if you want to get a good filter you should use the ones that are made for oil based
45 or 22 doesn't really matter
It's whatever you want to use

 

[hotdog23]

Don't use a 0.45um filter. Use the 0.22/0.20um

What is your preferred membrane material? For just BA/BB no added solvents.

PVDF or nylon for me.

 

[MANWHORE]

I use a cheesecloth membrane
And it works great

Pls tell me ppl aren't using manwhores recycled butt lube for Anabolics. No personal offense but it's scary what some ppl put out as clean gear. It's a wonder you are still in the free world bro. That shit was hott. Use a .22... The 45 might as well b cheesecloth

And thanks @Docd187123 I used a PES and filter came apart at high BB 22% with 150mg/ml npp. Sux cuz I loved the foxx
