blut wump said:To be fair, I'm happy to consider the gear to be sterile, since the BA should take care of that and it sounds like they use a high BA content from what others have posted, I could be wrong, though. What I would do, if I were to use satchets, is to refilter it through a Whatman into a vial. My main concerns would be at my own end rather than at theirs with all the messing around with the satchet.
A Whatman filter will set you back about $4 and a sterile, sealed vial about $2. Satchets can still work out to be a cost-effective option when pharma-grade gear isn't on the menu.
I understand where you're coming from BW. For me sterility is job one. So I prefer to just "pop a top" rather than run the risk of self-filtering (a 'sachet' I opened in an un-sterile environment)
