Air bubbles in test

[Pumpiniron13]

I’ve been reading a lot lately on peptides and was just curious when drawing up test cyp in a syringe, will air bubbles affect quality of product? Thanks

How did you arrive at an air bubble affecting the quality of the product? I'd like to hear how you came up with that or why you think it's a thing.

 

[Pumpiniron13]

I’m asking if it does. I know with some peptides it does

Why would it? Are you think air bubbles in an IV injection?

I don't think it matters with cyp. I do remember reading somewhere that peptides are more fragile and the agitation from drawing to fast/air mixing can damage the amino chain. I don't know if it's true but I've read that too.

I know we usually say to not shake HCG but rather roll it back and forth in your hand. I can't see that with Cyp though.

Yeah, I agree. I don't see how you could hurt an oil based hormone other than too much heat or cold.

I actually shake my vial of T before I use it and there are a few bubbles in it. All my labs have been good.

I shake my as well and use a 18 Gauge to draw up t. Was just curious about it affecting quality. My labs have been good. Just curious. Thanks guys

Air bubbles will have absolutely no effect on the quality of the esterified testosterone.

I understand drawing can be much faster with an 18 gauge but you are just tearing up the neoprene rubber on the top of the vial and it is more prone to causing chunks of neoprene getting in the oily solution.

Either draw/inject with an insulin syringe or use a 25 gauge to draw.

Hope to god you are not on a daily or EOD injection protocol as the neoprene is taking a beating getting pierced by an 18 gauge frequently!

As far as air bubbles there are things you can do to avoid getting any when drawing/injecting.
