if you draw up with a bigger pin and inject with a fresh one you lose a bit more to dead space

is a slightly cloudy solution ever ok or is that always a bin it

i use bac water even for a single-use vial because it stings less, which is not the reason it exists

the meniscus thing is real. read it at eye level or you are guessing by a unit either way

does temperature of the bac water matter at all
