Hey everyone,
Long time fan, first time poster. I appreciate the board’s knowledge.
Anyway, I’ve got a vial of testosterone propionate that’s probably fine, but because I’m neurotic I want to sterilize it on my end.
I read a publication from a pharma company that recommends 150c for 1 hour. This seems higher than other values that I’ve seen on here. Just wondering if that seems right. At what temp will the product break down?
I plan on filtering into a new vial once it cools.
Thanks!
Just filter it and skip the heat. If you use the right filter then it’ll be as sterile as it’s going to get.
Some Brewers bake the vials at about 200f for an hour. I think you would need to put a needle in the vial first, but not in the oil, just in the air space to account for outgassing.
Thanks for the replies. I did a test amount this morning by transferring to a beaker and heating, then transferring to to another vial through a filter. Looks like it came out well, but I guess it was probably redundant…?
I’ve got a handful of sterile 22mu filters that I’ve been using. Should I be paying attention to the specific material they’re made out of or is it just the pore size that matters?
