Extracting Test E from Oil Suspension

[Oatmeal12]

Hello,

I have lab equipment and was wondering how one could extract the Testosterone Ethanate crystals from the oil suspension (if possible). I want to check the purity and make sure it is really Test E that I have using the melting point method.

I heard freezing it separates it...

Thanks!

Does anybody know? Really interested

Freeze it. Or send it to a lab to test it.
Or just buy from a legit source and you won't have all these problems.

Wish it was that easy

Well that suxs.
How is it you have access to lab equipment and don't know how to use it?

I do know how to use it, I just never extracted crystals from an oil suspension, and wanted to hear everyone's thoughts.

Lol sure. Maybe you should read a lab book on it?

Anyone else have or know a procedure?

That is difficult. I have never done it, but i could give you some possibilities. Freezing to -20c/filtering/decanting might be a good method to recover most of the crystals (still covered in oil and will require further processing, hexane wash possibly). Another possibility is using soap/water to saponificate the oil and thus wash it away, hopefully leaving behind test e precipitate which can be extracted with dichloromethane. The best possibility in my opinion would be using hexane (in which test e is insoluble) to precipitate the test e, which could then be filtered and washed with hexane/water.

Try small amounts first obviously.

I would try and find the boiling point of testosterone, or even better of testosterone enanthate, then you can try to boil the oil off. It would also help if you knew what kind of oil it is dissolved in. Also you could look into if there are any minor chemical modifications you can do to it to change its polarity and make it precipitate out of solution.
