is there any - safe - way to separate your active ingredients from blood that has collected... and eventually coagulated in a syringe while you've been looking for a good vein ??

it's SO frustrating!

thanks for any tips - g
 
safest thing to do with that is depending on what it is, squirt it up your nose, or in your mouth and swallow if it is something with a decent oral BA.
i wouldn't trust it even if i re-filtered it, it's not worth the risk (to me), others may have different ideas but the best thing for you to do is work on your IV technique so it doesn't happen again.
 
I've had this problem before.. I would squirt it back in a different spoon and use WET rolled up q-tips to filter. Filter 2-3x. A wheel filter would work best, however.
I haven't done this in a while because it is completely preventable from my experience.

Get blood in your rig and don't want to have it congeal? Take it out within a reasonable time and give the rig a few flicks with some air in it. Mix the blood and the solution around real well and it'll prevent it from congealing...

Now, instant-congeal is another matter in itself.. Still wondering what causes it..
