I researched and found this nice post from other boards, which I dont remmember. Many of you guys sound you dont know how to use it so here it is.

the point to this is its sterile, it works, and you can effortlessly filter
500mL of oil in an hour and do nothing but set it up and squeeze the pump a few
times
#1: buy the bottle top filtration system.
you'll need 3
things:
a hand pump
bottle top filters
a glass media
bottle to receive.
this is a picture of the hand pump. you don't need the
accessories, just the hand pump, and the tube
this is actually a "brake
bleeder kit" for a car. MORE THAN WORTH IT.
The bottle top filters look like this (attached to a receiver flask)
google
"Surfactant-Free Cellulose Acetate NALGENE"
(nylon is also okay. nylon or
sf-ca for oil. PES for water)
you want the .22um (45um do not filter all bacterias!!)
be careful when buying filters
and receiver flasks
they come in both 33mm and 45mm. it doesn't matter which
size you get, as long as the filter matches the
flask.
this is a media bottle receive.
i like Pyrex best.
#2: mix your gear
mix your solvents, powders, oil. 1%-2% BA!
heat.
let
them cool to ROOM TEMPERATURE!
i actually heat my gear in a media bottle.
after its mixed all in there i put a cloth down in the spaghetti boiler and boil
the bottle for an hour.
#3: build your bottle top filtration
system
this is pretty simple.
screw the filter onto the
flask
hook the vacuum to the hose
hook the hose to the nipple on the side
of the filter.
Pour your ROOM TEMP OIL into the top.
always keep
the vacuum in the 10 range on the Gauge, and don't let it go below 5.
#4: getting it into vials
heres
where you have two options.
i take the lazy route and pour the filtered
product into a clean beaker and inject that into vials.
a safer option is to
attach one of these onto your media bottle to turn it into a giant
vial.
"Open Top Caps and Silicone Septa"
After this, i like to tyndalize. put
a cloth at the bottom of a spaghetti boiler so the vials on get direct heat. now
boil for 20 minutes, 3 days in a row, 24 hours apart. this is the third stage in
clean gear.
1. BA
2. filter
3.
Tyndilize
#5: cleaning up after
throw away your filter after use
as
for the media bottle, rinse it with soap and water very well.
then rinse that
with 99% isopropyl, or 70% grain, or 70% ethyl alcohol
then rinse that with
sterile water
then let that dry.
then put the cap on the media bottle, and
tyndilize THAT.
others may do it differently, thats how i do.
