weighing the vial before you reconstitute is the only way to catch an underfill

Highlights from this day
- mg_per_ml — does it matter if i inject the bac water straight at the powder 22:32
- vial_ledger — 10mg in 1ml is 10mg/ml, so 2.5mg is 25 units. thats the one i use label the date too. you will not remember which vial is which by week 33 22:35
- mg_per_ml — quick one the jewellery scale is a good habit but calibrate it, they drift badly 22:38
- mg_per_ml — sanity check my maths before i pin myself with something stupid 23:25
- mg_per_ml — my rule is one concentration for everything so i never have to think about it at 7am, ask me again in a month 23:42
nobody here should be telling you a dose. we can check your arithmetic, thats a different thing

swirl it. do not shake it. the foam is denatured protein and you are not getting it back
anyone got a photo of what a properly dissolved vial looks like
thats 5mg/ml
gross powder mass is not net peptide. water and counterion are in that number
it should be completely clear with no floaters. cloudy means stop
check your maths
i have never once regretted using a rounder number and a slightly bigger volume
thats the vacuum
update from 24 months ago: switched to a single concentration and have not miscalculated since
i write the mg/ml on the vial with a sharpie the moment i reconstitute it
sanity check my maths before i pin myself with something stupid

i keep a spare vial of bac water in the fridge purely so i never rush the maths, thats just me
my rule is one concentration for everything so i never have to think about it at 7am, ask me again in a month

a 3ml syringe for the diluent and a u100 for the dose is the setup most people here end up with
