sterilizing gear as a precaution

**Dago** · 04-21-2013, 05:32 PM

Not saying anyone is making or selling gear that is not sterile want to be clear on that. I am saying as a precaution is there a way to take some action on your own to make sure any oils you inject are sterile? Heating it up maybe ?

You have to filter it yourself.

Yep just filter it with a syringe filter and your g2g.

Yes it will be sterile. I use a .22 whatman filter.

I've had no problems with gear being unsterile..

I have never had dirty gear, but you can heat it up to steriles it, or you can use a syringe filter as wells, or both.

Heating it up doesnt really sterilize it. Heating it up is really only good for crashed gear imo.

I have never had any problems either. But one time. I found a piece of something that looked like plastic floating around in a vail of T300 and i talked to my source about it and they sent me 2 free vials to replace that one. So i just filtered the one that had plastic or whatever it was in it.
