Still unemployed so I can’t afford it anyways.
Maybe we can send you a little sample to play with… special unemployment support package?

Lolol there’s no way I’ll be taking advantage of your company - especially in this economy and in this political climate!
You know I love DT!

Actually have an idea that would require a very little amount of powder. I’m willing to sponsor it if you’re willing to experiment? You would just have to post updates periodically. Are you game?

I mean, if it’s for science - that’s different…

Okay… get yourself a biopsy punch and let’s party! I’ll DM you details…

Damn you for giving me ideas.
@Satur9 any word on how it turned out packing a implant hole with powder?

How tiny are you thinking? 1 gram?

Yeah it works okay
I’m not going to tag the person in case they don’t want to be identified, but they can weigh in more if they see this.

Any concerns with it being absorbed into the body?
– this is not medical advice –
Not really… removing the dermal layer you’re opening up the fascia and muscle tissues… interstitial tissues. You have to get down to about 20 micron and smaller before things can start causing problems, triggering macrophages, traveling through ECM pores, passing through membranes, etc. Our powder has been washed and carefully sifted through lab grade filters to ensure it’s 50 micron (or larger).
Don’t inject into the bloodstream and you should be fine.

I just wanted to update those who have ordered… we are finalizing our wash and filter process today and powder will ship out on Wednesday. Thanks for your patience with this. Given the importance of particle size as outlined in my previous post, I feel the washing and filtering process is critical to ensuring the powder particles we ship are all at least 50 micron.

This was me! For anyone curious, I used a mixture of glow powder and sterile lube, scooped into the end of the injector with a spare needle before implanting. I didn’t take any pictures until afterward, but this shows the glow powder mixture.

Okay that’s way more involved than my intent. I was going to install the implant, remove the needle, then pack the needle hole with powder before bandaging up.
This gives me even more ideas.

It’s definitely important to wash and filter… there are some intermediate sized particles but a lot more smaller particles than I thought would be the case.
This is one of the intermediate filters…
This is the final catch basin after all the filter stages…
The only reason we bothered with intermediate filters is to see the distribution of particle sizes in the manufacturer’s “50 micron” supply. It appears they allow a significant amount of tolerance. This would be fine for their intended application, but not for biohackers.

Does the manufacturing process guarantee that all the glow powder is completely covered by the silica shell? Is it possible that some percentage has a less than ideal coating?

I grilled the manufacturer on this and they said yes it’s all coated, but they also said it was all 50 micron. I checked random samples from the batch under the microscope and they all appeared to be well coated. I couldn’t find even a single particle that wasn’t almost overly coated. This was after the washing and filtering though, so perhaps if any uncoated particles did exist they were flushed through and ended up in the catch basin.
To be clear, strontium aluminate itself is fairly benign and considered non-toxic. I would be much more concerned that well coated but small (20 micron or smaller) particles made it into my body than an uncoated particle of SA, as long as that particle was >30 micron.
