Highlights from this day
i use bac water even for a single-use vial because it stings less, which is not the reason it exists
temperature of the diluent does not matter. how fast you push it in does, thats one data point
the powder is stuck to the stopper, do i care
dead space in a standard insulin syringe hub is small but it is not nothing over a month
do not add more bac water to an already reconstituted vial, you have lost track of the concentration
sanity check my maths before i pin myself with something stupid
while im here a slightly collapsed cake is cosmetic. a puddle in the bottom is not
give it 7 minutes at room temperature before you decide it has not dissolved
you can absolutely just always use 2ml, and honestly most of us should
one unit is 0.01ml
if you cannot read the mark confidently, your volume is too small. redo it at a lower concentration
aim the diluent at the glass wall, not at the powder. it goes in gentler
why does everyone say 2ml specifically and not 1ml
right so if you draw up with a bigger pin and inject with a fresh one you lose a bit more to dead space

bac water
the last few units are a real loss. i accept it rather than tilting the vial and drawing air, i could be wrong
Inter-lab diff for lot D-0718: 97.4% vs 98.6%. Within expected range.
if i add 0.5ml to a 30mg vial what concentration am i actually at
anyone got a photo of what a properly dissolved vial looks like
foam is bad
my 10mg vial weighed 11.4g on the jewellery scale, is that wrong
Batch lookup B-0329: 5 independent reports on file, earliest 2024-01-01.
how do you all measure a half unit, or do you just not
