weighing the vial before you reconstitute is the only way to catch an underfill, not advice obviously
a 3ml syringe for the diluent and a u100 for the dose is the setup most people here end up with
thats the vacuum
how much do i lose to dead space with a 31G pin
one unit is 0.01ml. 100 units is 1ml. everything else in this channel follows from that
is the meniscus reading actually a real source of error or am i overthinking
not sterile water
my vial pulled the water in on its own, is that the vacuum or did i do something
a slightly collapsed cake is cosmetic. a puddle in the bottom is not
if you cannot read the mark confidently, your volume is too small. redo it at a lower concentration
swirl it. do not shake it. the foam is denatured protein and you are not getting it back
gross powder mass is not net peptide. water and counterion are in that number
my 10mg vial weighed 11.4g on the jewellery scale, is that wrong
i use bac water even for a single-use vial because it stings less, which is not the reason it exists
round numbers
aim the diluent at the glass wall, not at the powder. it goes in gentler
label the date too. you will not remember which vial is which by week 32
thats 5mg/ml
nobody here should be telling you a dose. we can check your arithmetic, thats a different thing
i have never once regretted using a rounder number and a slightly bigger volume, your mileage will differ
genuine question how long after reconstituting before its actually dissolved
i was wrong about this last year: it is fine to draw cold, it just stings more going in
