coming back to this my 10mg vial weighed 11.4g on the jewellery scale, is that wrong
#reconstitution 2025-02-16
Sunday22 messages6 participantstimes are UTC
Highlights from this day
- pbs_pip — do not add more bac water to an already reconstituted vial, you have lost track of the concentration 16:05
- ferrous_ash — do i swirl for a specific length of time or just until its clear 16:11
- VialBot — Testing queue: 4 submissions open, 118 awaiting dispatch. 17:37
- pbs_pip — benzyl alcohol is what makes it bacteriostatic. it is about 0.9% typically i keep a spare vial of bac water in the fridge purely so i never rush the maths 18:39
- void_volume — slightly off topic but temperature of the diluent does not matter. how fast you push it in does, i could be wrong you can absolutely just always use 2ml, and honestly… 18:49
anyone else find the 5mg vials harder to get fully dissolved than the small ones

genuine question a 3ml syringe for the diluent and a u100 for the dose is the setup most people here end up with
too dilute imo
dead space
yep 10 units
if you cannot read the mark confidently, your volume is too small. redo it at a lower concentration
*Janoshik not the other one
foam is bad

what do you do with the last 25 units when you cant draw them cleanly
clear or bin it
benzyl alcohol is what makes it bacteriostatic. it is about 0.9% typically

label the date too. you will not remember which vial is which by week 30, i could be wrong
20mg in 2ml is 10mg/ml. 1mg is 10 units, 2mg is 20 units, easy
slightly off topic but temperature of the diluent does not matter. how fast you push it in does, i could be wrong
you can absolutely just always use 2ml, and honestly most of us should
bac water
