Filter Loss - Am I Doing This Right?

You pull the whole volume into a syringe, then suck it back into the barrel so the little bit in the needle hub counts too. Check the marks on the syringe for the total ml. If it's between 1.4ml and 3ml, you have 1.6 ml. Then you put it all back in the vial. If some is still stuck in the hub, draw some air from the vial into the syringe and use it to push the remaining liquid back in. When you remove the needle, suck a little air out of the vial into the syringe as a slight vacuum to preserve the BAC. Then, using the mg from the vial before reconstituting, divide that by the ml you measured to calculate the concentration.
 
Nope they are just the filter. I pre-wet with bac water while I am reconsituting. This seems to help. I then flush after. The Tisch 4mm are a bit tempermental sometimes and they have blocked or blown out. I am extra gentle now.
 
No, thank goodness, it blows into the vial or cartridge lol. It makes bubbles and foam. You can either suck it all out and start over, or risk not filtering it all and be done. Very annoying.
 
So if I have a 5mg vial of Ipamorelin and I add 5ml of bac water, then each ml has 1mg of Ipamorelin, right? And if I want 300mcg, I'd draw to the 0.3ml mark on an insulin syringe?

That's the way I figure it, yeah. Making the math easy is half the battle!
 
Important reminder: how you store your peptides matters! Unmixed vials should ideally be refrigerated as soon as you get them. While some say they're okay at room temp for a short time, why risk it? Once reconstituted, always refrigerate! Check the label, but that's generally the rule.
 
Seen people jump back to their old dose after a break and end up in the ER. Your body's unpredictable - you never really know how it'll react.
 
The unfiltered side bothers me too when you're trying to keep everything sterile. Wonder if pulling air out instead of pushing filter-free air in would get the same result.
 
That's solid. Around a pound weekly is the sweet spot for staying consistent, especially after those first couple weeks while you're dialing things in. The 20-pound stories are often water weight or anomalies. What you're on now? That sticks.
 
Filter loss with standard 0.22 units is normal - expect 10-15% trapped in the housing itself. Prewetting the membrane with sterile water first reduces that loss. Product after filtration is fully sterile. What stays in the syringe tip and filter body is dead volume, not degraded product.
 
Video is a good start. Steady pressure and not rushing the draw-back is the main technique. Natural after a few tries.
