anyone worked out a recon volume that puts 2mg on a round unit mark

- u100_pat — aim the diluent at the glass wall, not at the powder. it goes in gentler 21:10
- aliquot_ada — bacteriostatic water for anything multi-use. sterile water has no preservative in it at all 22:13
- u100_pat — if the powder is on the stopper, tap it down before you add anything. it will still dissolve either way 22:52
- u100_pat — i keep a spare vial of bac water in the fridge purely so i never rush the maths 23:36
- u100_pat — you can absolutely just always use 2ml, and honestly most of us should 23:37
the meniscus thing is real. read it at eye level or you are guessing by a unit either way
aim the diluent at the glass wall, not at the powder. it goes in gentler
nobody here should be telling you a dose. we can check your arithmetic, thats a different thing
if the maths gives you 13.7 units, change the volume. do not try to hit 13.7, ill dig out the number
my 10mg vial weighed 11.4g on the jewellery scale, is that wrong
while im here i write the mg/ml on the vial with a sharpie the moment i reconstitute it
read it at eye level
round numbers
for the archive took me a year to stop over-diluting. the measurement error at 4 units is worse than the convenience
bacteriostatic water for anything multi-use. sterile water has no preservative in it at all
the vacuum will pull it in. let it. fighting it is how you get a face full of aerosol
while im here give it 7 minutes at room temperature before you decide it has not dissolved
update from 13 months ago: switched to a single concentration and have not miscalculated since

not sterile water
