Equipment supplies:
Ebay, Amazon,
Medical Supplies, Lab Supplies | Med Lab Supply
----------------------------
-
Digital scales 0.001g or 1mg accuracy (Ebay and Amazon - under $15).
Filtration systems
-
Coffee filters (disposable paper)
Not required but are recommended as pre-filters to remove large contaminants before using the relatively more expensive micron filters.
-
Syringe filters (size: 0.2 micron and 0.4 micron)
-
Syringe (size: 20ml or larger)
The larger syringes are easier when trying to force the oil through the filter
OPTIONAL attachment: Caulk gun for syringe (to make it easier to squeeze)
OPTIONAL filtration system (if affordable)
- Filtration set (Flask, funnel, hand pump, tubing)
- Filtration paper for the filtration set: 0.20 um,PVDF Membran***8203;e Filters x 50counts

Oil and Solvent
-
Benzyl Alcohol
(used at around 1% to prevent bacterial growth, a.k.a as bacteriostatic agent)
-
Benzyl Benzonate
(used as a solvent at varying % to dissolve certain hormones and prevent crystalization. Some hormones such as Test E, Boldenone, and Nandrolone, do not need BB)
-
Grape Seed Oil
(Used as a carrier for the hormone. Some people use Ethyl Oleate [EO]. While I don't know much about EO, I have read that it dissolves hormones better at higher concentration of mg/ml, but some people are allergic to it, it could dissolve a rubber cap, and it is pricey.)
