Particles/Lint in ghrp-6

[chriswhat]

I reconstituted 5mg ghrp-6 with 2ml bacteriostatic water, took a while to dissolve. Three days later I still have particles floating around in it some look dark and small some look like lint. Is this stuff junk? Should I filter it or just discard?

filter it using a .22 and flush with BW. Fill into a sterile vial. Lint and floater....not good. What brand?

I went ahead and filtered it before I got a reply. I happened to have a whatman and a sterile vial. Sten Labs

What brand?

Yeah...mind sharing?

I was looking at some of the other vials and noticed some of them have powder on the outside near the top. Never had that with any peptides before. I think I am going to toss this stuff, no telling what it is.

Sorry, but that sounds like the best thing to do. Hope your losses weren't too high. I've heard things about this guy that would make me not order from him EVER! (don't ask)

$20 for a 5mg bottle sounds fishy....

 

[chriswhat]

This was his deal for (4) 5mg vials for $50. Like you say too good to be true. Just learning (again) not to be cheap with what I put in my body.

Thats about average price for GHRP... but STEN is some shady stuffff.
My buddy recieved a few of his peptides and NOTHING was lyophilized.

Never will I order from him.

Not from a US distributor, unless you buy bulk.

actually yes eds prices are great maybe you should research it before you comment

Yeah...go to the site and tell me how much it's listed for today. You can't. Why? Because it's not on the list! They are out of stock.

GHRP-6 is inexpensive to manufacture. It is just 6 amino acids long ...yes it has two more expensive "d" forms amino acids but thats it...nothing complex about it. Not real time consuming to make a batch.

So IMHO it should be sold at this price point by a retailer.

If a retailer can not make a decent profit at this price point then he is either getting ripped off by his peptide synthesizer or ...

Here is STENS response to your complaint when I reposted it on another board:

It was just a label issue. I should have been here to make sure a mistake like that did not happen. It did however, and all I can do is correct it. 10 vials went out labeled wrong. This problem was corrected immediately. I understand your concern xxxxx. you have every right to say this.
I will not let it happen again. This I assure you. Things are back to normal and I am overseeing operations. You will see in time. I am truly sorry that it happened though. NO EXCUSE. MY FAULT.​

 

[chriswhat]

Funny, he has not replied to my e-mail asking him about the particles. What kind of label issue would cause there to be particles inside the vial?

ok smartass its not in stock right now but when it is its $10 bucks thats why it isnt in stock cuz it works great and its cheap not to mention that eds is the best research supply on this board imo. I will gladly wait a week to order through him

Smartass? Listen here DUMBASS...how I am to know it's $10 if it's not on the site? My telepathic abilities are not as strong as yours.

I did my research, I even sent them an email asking how much it costs and when they will have it in stock. I didn't hear back from them, so I went to another well trusted source. So how exactly am I not doing my research?

 

[chriswhat]

Okay guys, he re-sent with extras. New batch just reconstituted, no particles. Others may be having ongoing problems with him but he took care of my problem.

I have read several posts about filtering reconstituted peptides, and also re-compounding oil based substances for sterility. What I have not found, however, is a guide a for completing aforementioned tasks safely for someone who is a beginner at these procedures.

Is there a reference somewhere? I have not been able to find it.

You will need:

1. sterile presealed vial(s)
2. sterile needles
3. sterile syringe
4. sterile syringe filter (Whatman or Millpore .20u pore size will filter water/.45u pore size will filter oil
5. * Bacteriostatic Water & Benzyl Alcohol

* optional anti-bacterial aditives

Take sterile vial and insert a low gauge needle in the stopper as an air pressure vent.

Insert a second low gauge needle in the stopper and attach the syringe filter to it.

Take out a sterile syringe and attach a third needle to it.

Insert this syringe/needle into the vial containing previously reconstituted but contaminated compound/peptide.

Draw the solution/compound/peptide into the syringe by pulling back on the plunger w/ the vial upside down.

When the syringe is full, remove the needle and screw the open end into the free end of the syringe filter (i.e. Whatman or Millpore). Keep syringe elevated while it is open so that it will not leak out the contents.

When the syringe is attached to the filter push the plunger down forcing the contents to go through the filter with the result that the contaminents are filtered and the "pure" solution/compound/peptide passes into the new vial.

Add more BW if you need to and/or IF needed BA (make sure the total concentration dose not exceed 1% of final solution)
