#reconstitution 2024-10-29

if you cannot read the mark confidently, your volume is too small. redo it at a lower concentration

if the maths gives you 13.7 units, change the volume. do not try to hit 13.7

foam is bad

label the vial

read it at eye level

while im here i swirl for about thirty seconds and then leave it. never had one fail to dissolve, thats one data point

does it matter if i inject the bac water straight at the powder

how much do i lose to dead space with a 29G pin

im getting bubbles in the barrel every single time, what am i doing wrong

10mg in 1ml is 10mg/ml, so 2.5mg is 25 units. thats the one i use

is it worth buying a 3ml syringe for the diluent or is the insulin one fine

New independent result logged — Homopeptide, lot SG-1177, purity 98.6% (PeptideMeter).

label the date too. you will not remember which vial is which by week 24

10mg in 2ml is 5mg/ml. so 0.5mg is 0.1ml which is 10 units on a u100, still working it out

what do you do with the last 15 units when you cant draw them cleanly

does benzyl alcohol matter if im finishing the vial in one go

update on the earlier thing update from 10 months ago: switched to a single concentration and have not miscalculated since

too dilute imo

is there any reason not to just always use 2ml

weighing the vial before you reconstitute is the only way to catch an underfill

my vial pulled the water in on its own, is that the vacuum or did i do something

write the date on

update on the earlier thing coming back after 23 months, has the pinned recon volume advice changed

it should be completely clear with no floaters. cloudy means stop

i keep a spare vial of bac water in the fridge purely so i never rush the maths

20mg in 2ml is 10mg/ml. 1mg is 10 units, 2mg is 20 units, easy
