i write the mg/ml on the vial with a sharpie the moment i reconstitute it, anyway

- tail_factor — weighing the vial before you reconstitute is the only way to catch an underfill 10mg in 1ml is 10mg/ml, so 2.5mg is 25 units. thats the one i use 13:57

coming back to this 10mg in 1ml is 10mg/ml, so 2.5mg is 25 units. thats the one i use
check your maths
do not add more bac water to an already reconstituted vial, you have lost track of the concentration
weigh it first
im getting bubbles in the barrel every single time, what am i doing wrong

swirl dont shake
aim the diluent at the glass wall, not at the powder. it goes in gentler
do you draw up with the same pin you inject with
a slightly collapsed cake is cosmetic. a puddle in the bottom is not
foam is bad
follow up the meniscus thing is real. read it at eye level or you are guessing by a unit either way
while im here my rule is one concentration for everything so i never have to think about it at 7am
quick one can i add more bac water later to a vial ive already reconstituted
thats the vacuum

too dilute imo
is it normal for the cake to look slightly collapsed on one side
update from 26 months ago: switched to a single concentration and have not miscalculated since
i was wrong about this last year: it is fine to draw cold, it just stings more going in
if you cannot read the mark confidently, your volume is too small. redo it at a lower concentration
