maths check the cake shrinking is not a defect. it collapses as the water sublimes and it can look ugly, the volume is the variable, the dose is not

i reconstitute in the evening and use it the next morning. it gives the cake time to go properly clear, measured, not guessed

a vial that has been shaken hard is not automatically ruined, but i would not swear it is intact

30mg in 3ml is 10mg/ml, so 5mg is 50 units. half the barrel, feels like a lot but its right, the volume is the variable, the dose is not

the vacuum in a lyophilised vial is real. hold the plunger or it will pull the whole thing in
