Highlights from this day

mg_per_ml — a 3ml syringe for the diluent and a u100 for the dose is the setup most people here end up with, i have it written down somewhere 10:12
lean_mass_lex — how much do i lose to dead space with a 29G pin 10:49
VialBot — Recon calculator: 20mg in 1.5ml = 8mg/ml. 12:43
u100_pat — the last few units are a real loss. i accept it rather than tilting the vial and drawing air 14:18

a 3ml syringe for the diluent and a u100 for the dose is the setup most people here end up with, i have it written down somewhere

read it at eye level

whats the smallest volume you would trust yourself to measure on a u100

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

U-100 syringe: 1 unit = 0.01 ml
  10u = 0.10 ml
  25u = 0.25 ml
  50u = 0.50 ml
 100u = 1.00 ml
mg drawn = ml drawn x mg/ml

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 32

bac water

10mg in 2ml is 5mg/ml. so 0.5mg is 0.1ml which is 10 units on a u100

is the meniscus reading actually a real source of error or am i overthinking

Recon calculator: 20mg in 1.5ml = 8mg/ml.

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

why does everyone say 2ml specifically and not 1ml

the last few units are a real loss. i accept it rather than tilting the vial and drawing air
