Filtering

[mlke6]

people inject air into their reconstituted vial each time before extracting their peptide

That's something I only did in the very beginning. I've watched videos where people inject air into their bac water as well.

While test peptides are likely not made to full FDA standards in the real compounding pharmacies filtered needles are almost never used. Only practical application is when small all glass (no stopper or cap) ampules are actually broken open, the filter needle prevents risk of glass particles alone. As soon as drawn up the filter needle is discarded and new needle attached. I have zero plans to ever use a filter needle for glp1s. Plus filter needles will not filter out things which could actually cause problems like chemicals and pyrogens.

The raws used a compounding pharmacies are tested for sterility, and they are supposed to also regularly test the sterile area used for recon to ensure it's also sterile.

On top of that, they actually do generally filter as filtering through an appropriate filter is an acceptable way of ensuring the final product is sterile (this is large scale recon, not one fill needle at a time since they don't use needles to fill vials prior to capping). So yes, compound pharmacies absolutely filter.

Sorry you are wrong. I even inspect some of these places as part of my job. Depending on classification, likely 304a or 304b requirements differ. The patient level routine compounding pharmacies are not testing actual compounds, "making sterile" or filtering. They buy sterile, prepare sterile for patient use. If they fall into another category of commercial large scale production and supply people other than end users other requirements and regulations come into play where sterilizing batch product testing, etc regulations apply.
