Moldy Gear?

I’m very good about use sterile vials and needles.

I have been pre-mixing gear for the week awhile now. The photo below is two savage labs products (test and primo) with omega deca. 2:2:1.

*Savage is very new, omega is 9.25 expiration.
*All gear is clear individually.
*Savage is grapeseed oil base (I believe).
*Omega is MCT oil base (I believe).

Thought?

Almost looks like the old "bolasterone*" it was 4 drugs mixed, I forgot or never new which ones. JJ IS CORRECT. grapseed oil opened has a life of 3 months. Canola is made from "rancid " rapeseed and lasts longer. My surprise MCT( regular) can last in the fridge, room temp for a long time 2 years. These are opened oxidation. I don't know how long the vials were opened or what oils but does it mix upon shaking or a low warming?

Medium/medium high warm water.

Deca is in a brown container, but drew a full syringe, and it appeared clear as well.

If it was mold I believe you’d see some sore of spore formation in the tainted vial. IMHO it looks more like separation of the oils, but I know nothing of home brewing. A quick google search shows they have a very close specific gravity so theoretically there shouldn’t be separation? Just speculating. Hopefully one of the brewers will weigh in.
