For single shots you plan to do immediately then yes, you probably will be fine with sterile water.Yeah i was referring to single shots and not solutions meant for storage. Is this also dangerous coz bacteriostatic water is exp and plus this has worked for me the few times i have done it. No fever or sickness to speak of.
It's not specifically dangerous no, I used "expired" sterile water for a while, it still worked fine. However that was prepping shot per shot, not a bulk solution (what you're apparently talking about).
Just a quick question about micron filters.
I have a bunch of filters and am having trouble figuring out what size the filters are due to the confusing description on the box.
The box states that they are "Acrosdisc PF Syringe Filter 0.8/0.2 um Supor Membrane".
So what the hell does 0.8/0.2 um mean? Are they 0.8 microns or 0.2 microns....or neither? Anyone know? Thanks-DG
It looks like someone already answered your question.
I'll kind of describe this so everyone can understand.
A micron filter is designed like this: it has a big round part in the middle, and on the faces, one side where the luer lock attaches (where there's the writing on it), and the other side a smaller hole where the solution comes out - where you can put a needle tip on the end.
The luer lock attaches to the top, and then on that side, there is a 0.8 um filter. Then it passes through a 0.2um filter, and then it comes out the other side.
The Whatman PVDF filters I have utilize three different sized filters. This allows for different sized particles to be removed at different areas, so that there's a smaller chance of the micron filter clogging.
If it was only 0.2um, the larger particles would clog up much, much quicker, and you might end up using several micron filters instead of just one.
I hope this answered your question DG!
^ That means that they have 2 membranes. The first one being 0.8um to filter the larger particles to prevent clogging the final 0.2um membrane.
You should still prefilter with cotton first to prevent clogging the 0.8um membrane with the large shit.
Indeed. Compacted cotton can get as small as 50um pores, and removing stuff larger than 50um in size will prevent the 0.8um layer from clogging as well.

I wish this was around when i used to shoot coke. I did get a hold of a stopper bottle i used once but 5 bucks? big deal! To be abel to tale all your dpe and put it in water filter it into a sterille bottle THEN only having to put your syring in the bottle for a shot instead of cotton, worring about cotton fever, shaking and bending the needle in the spoon, etc. how cou one even question? I always wanted one of those setup at the hospital where the iv is in your arm and then alluyou have to do is inject the solution into the works allreadyin your arm instaed of poking,repokingbecuse your not in. Ehh im just getting shaky thinking about the horrors i went through just to get a rush.![]()
Hey at least you don't shoot coke anymore! Congratulations on quitting man. Not everyone successfully quits.
I know what you mean though, I estimated I spent a full four days of last year preparing IV shots. Micron filters save your health and time (and time is money)!
