Is this everything I need to get started?

[paranoidpineapple]

I have got RT30 & GHKCU-100 on the way.
I have also got all this on the way..

Hospira bac water
Pes 13mm, 0.22um filters
3ml empty sterile vials (for reta)
10ml empty sterile vials (for GHKCU)
3ml luer lock syringes
27g 1.5" needles
25g 5/8" needles
30g 1/2" needles
0.5ml 30g 8mm bd microfine syringe & needle u100
Alcohol wipes
Sharps bin

Is this everything I need to recon and filter or am I missing anything?

So, what's the dose gonna be?

 

[Beardboost]

Bac Water
30g 1ml Syringes or 0.5ml for pinning (1ml for mixing)
Alcohol Wipes
Sharps Bin

Everything else is a waste, especially the empty vials

OP obviously plans to filter and the list looks very well thought out and complete to me once she adds a sharps bin, which can be any plastic container with a top or lid as long as it is well marked. I use a small one I bought, but when my partner was a diabetic we used a 3 quart almond milk container as it was used much more heavily. It is my understanding that some states/cities will issue you a sharps container for free.

I think a 3ml syringe with a 25g is better for recon personally. What are you going to filter into if you dump the new vials. The one you just sucked out the reconstituted mix from?

2mg reta. Probably start Ghkcu on 1mg.

Thank you. Already got a sharps bin on the way😊

I always do my first pin like 1/5th of starting dose, just to be safe and make sure I don't have any weird reactions. Day or two later go with higher dose. Some people are very sensitive, why risk.

I was thinking of doing 1ml twice in a week at the start, but hadnt thought of doing a lower dose over more days, thank you for the advice

They are not planning on filtering.... Hence no need for those supplies which they consider a "waste".

I've often thought that if batch was tested for sterility and if there was some reasssurance that the product was sterile then it's not a terrible idea to reconstitute and keep the reconstituted peptides in the original vial unfiltered. Recognize that filtering does add the possibility of contaminating something that was previously sterile and/or the opportunity to use supplies that are not sterile, even though we try to source sterile supplies.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating for not filtering, just saying that there is a reasonable basis for those who choose not to filter.

Nice list. Some people add a spray bottle with 70% isopropyl alcohol for spraying down their work area when reconstituting. I think that the guy from Peptide Test even sprays down the supplies, which I think is a little bit over the top, but to each their own. You want 70% and not higher because you need the water content so that the alcohol doesn't evaporate immediately.

I'll agree, but he mentioned filters and empty vials. someone else said he doesn't need them. I have 8 kits inbound eventually from a couple of GB that all have endo included. I'll just recon and blast away on those.

1 mg, common mistake

The OP wasn't the "they" I was referring to in my response. I think that the OP plans on filtering. I was responding the to question from BNLFL not the OP. Hope this clarifies.

There it is. Knew there was something 🤣

🙈 yes 1mg not 1ml. I'm definitely used to writing measurements for recipes not peps

I’m a bit confused. It’s great you have a source doing endo testing but the filtering is for sterility. Correct? The filters don’t remove endotoxins.

Correct, but I probably won't filter, but I've been known to change my mind. I haven't filtered a single vial since I started first of the year. I have the stuff to do it, but I only bought 10 filters.
