Highlights from this day
- spreadsheet_stu — is the meniscus reading actually a real source of error or am i overthinking you can absolutely just always use 2ml, and honestly most of us should 17:49
- spreadsheet_stu — coming back to this how do you all measure a half unit, or do you just not 17:50
- spreadsheet_stu — bac water or sterile water for something im going into weekly for 9 weeks a 3ml syringe for the diluent and a u100 for the dose is the setup most people here end up… 18:28
- spreadsheet_stu — slightly off topic but the vacuum will pull it in. let it. fighting it is how you get a face full of aerosol 18:30
- fridge_thermo — took me a year to stop over-diluting. the measurement error at 4 units is worse than the convenience, i could be wrong 19:59
clear or bin it
[edited]if the maths gives you 13.7 units, change the volume. do not try to hit 13.7
yep 10 units
coming back after 26 months, has the pinned recon volume advice changed

unrelated but bacteriostatic water for anything multi-use. sterile water has no preservative in it at all
genuine question is it normal for the cake to look slightly collapsed on one side
30mg in 3ml is 10mg/ml, so 5mg is 50 units. half the barrel, feels like a lot but its right
does benzyl alcohol matter if im finishing the vial in one go

quick one if i add 1ml to a 2mg vial what concentration am i actually at
check your maths
genuine question lyophilised powder is far more robust than people think. it is the solution that is fragile
