Bacteria?

[Civboy]

I've had my raw Test Enth for the last 3-4 weeks already, but I have just left it sitting at room temp on my bookshelf behind some books and away from light. Is there a greater chance of bacteria growth becuase I didn't put it in the fridge?

 

[Cordoba]

I would have to think yes, because bacteria grow better in warm environments. Fridges are cold to slow the grow of bacteria, thats what allows the food to last longer.

i would agree that it is possible. but keeping your powders in a fridge is not always possible, like in my case i live with people who don't know i use, and i don't need to be making up excuses everytime i'm getting ready to make another batch. i keep my powders in a lockbox in my dresser, along with the stuff i've already made. i haven't had any problems so far that i would contribute to not keeping it in the fridge.

Is it powder?
because if its powder when you mix it up using BA/BB ect. should
be sterilized by the BA/BB

 

[Flexmaster]

yeah, but just sitting out i'd imagine there's some degree of contamination.

I can't put mine in the fridge because too many questions would arise. The test in in a sealed vial. It is in gooey liquid form. But yeah I'm hoping the BA will take care of it once I convert it. What's the min % BA I need to kill most of hBacteria?

2-3% BA (add 7-8 bb, although not for sterility purposes) and the whatman should take care of any concerns.

Another thing, I've had oil sitting around at room temp for over a yr, and no problems with it. I never refrigerate either and never had a problem.

Thanks guys, I just didn't want to get get sick or get any abcesses from injecting the stuff. Those are the two things that worry me the most when I inject.

 

[strider]

I agree and they should too. It can form bacteria from heat and room temp as well.
a .22 micron filter (sterile) should help and a sterile vial as well, just be clean as possible with no air flow when you do your conversions and you should not have any problems.
I did have a problem with mine a long time ago it was summer when it was shipped and i let it sit for 4 weeks before using it, made me sick and no matter what i did i had gotten sick, had to scrap it.

so i hope if you need to convert it and then just add the other powders and do the math if you are to mix it with something, but remember higher concentrations can and most likely will cause more pain in the tissue.

just fyi.

 

[Civboy]

No mixing, and no high concentrations. Just going to make 10g. It's gonna be 40ml @ 250mg/ml. Just gonna do it the good old fashioned way.
