Do You Filter Your Peptides Before Use?

[FlowerFairy]

After being advised on here to filter, I ordered some of these: https://peptidetest.com/products/tisch-scientific-filter-syringe-22μm-pes-4mm-sterile-individually-wrapped-exp-10-31-27

Seems a lot of folks don't have any trouble without filtering, but I figure I might as well. One filter per vial is not too expensive relative to other costs. After seeing posts about people finding visible stuff in their vials, I was pretty set on going the filter route. Maybe my room air isn't suitable for a biolab, but I rarely see shit floating in it.

As far as ampule filtering goes, I have these for ampules: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D95XVN6 and I would definitely recommend filtering any ampule draws to avoid injecting yourself with glass.

You don’t need different filters for ampules. The filter needles are an unnecessary expense. Use one kind of filter for everything.

I don't know if this is accurate. The glass from the ampule could damage the finer membrane on a syringe filter. But I'm just theorizing.

I used them in the hospital when drawing up ampules (I’m old, they don’t generally use them anymore), so I’m going from experience. It was 30 years ago, but experience. Ativan, morphine and mag sulfate used to come in ampules.

You drew from an ampule with a syringe filter on? They are meant to be used only in the other direction. I'm not negating your experience, but maybe it was a different filter design 30 years ago?

No, I drew from the ampule with a 4mm filter between a needle and the syringe…

Ok, I see the confusion. Someone was saying they bought both kinds of filters. I said the syringe filters weren’t necessary. I wasn’t talking about syringe filters…
