Highlights from this day
- septum_sal — the meniscus thing is real. read it at eye level or you are guessing by a unit either way 18:09
- apnoea_down_two — took me a year to stop over-diluting. the measurement error at 4 units is worse than the convenience 18:33
- quiet_head_qi — my rule is one concentration for everything so i never have to think about it at 7am 19:40
- septum_sal — bacteriostatic water for anything multi-use. sterile water has no preservative in it at all, happy to be corrected 19:41
- apnoea_down_two — i use bac water even for a single-use vial because it stings less, which is not the reason it exists 21:36
the vacuum will pull it in. let it. fighting it is how you get a face full of aerosol
took me a year to stop over-diluting. the measurement error at 4 units is worse than the convenience
how do you all measure a half unit, or do you just not
coming back after 10 months, has the pinned recon volume advice changed
i write the mg/ml on the vial with a sharpie the moment i reconstitute it
my rule is one concentration for everything so i never have to think about it at 7am

[edited]does temperature of the bac water matter at all
dead space
round numbers
my 10mg vial weighed 11.4g on the jewellery scale, is that wrong
i use bac water even for a single-use vial because it stings less, which is not the reason it exists
one unit is 0.01ml
weigh it first
coming back to this i have never once regretted using a rounder number and a slightly bigger volume
