Thursday28 messages8 participantstimes are UTC
Highlights from this day
  • u100_pat — benzyl alcohol is what makes it bacteriostatic. it is about 0.9% typically 11:20
  • VialBot — Archive lookup: eight_mm first appears in this channel on 2024-05-22. 12:54
  • eight_mm — pick the volume so your dose is a whole number of units. thats the entire trick, anyway 14:00
  • same_chromato — gross powder mass is not net peptide. water and counterion are in that number, i have it written down somewhere 15:22
  • eight_mm — coming back to this bacteriostatic water for anything multi-use. sterile water has no preservative in it at all 15:25

a slightly collapsed cake is cosmetic. a puddle in the bottom is not, ill dig out the number

U1

how long after reconstituting before its actually dissolved

U1

the vacuum will pull it in. let it. fighting it is how you get a face full of aerosol

dead space

can i add more bac water later to a vial ive already reconstituted

label the vial

check your maths

AA

30mg in 3ml is 10mg/ml, so 5mg is 50 units. half the barrel, feels like a lot but its right

AA

aim the diluent at the glass wall, not at the powder. it goes in gentler

weigh it first

U1

anyone got a photo of what a properly dissolved vial looks like

U1

benzyl alcohol is what makes it bacteriostatic. it is about 0.9% typically

im getting bubbles in the barrel every single time, what am i doing wrong

U1

update from 22 months ago: switched to a single concentration and have not miscalculated since

SC

5mg in 2ml gives 2.5mg/ml, 0.25mg is 10 units. good for a starting dose

SC

give it 7 minutes at room temperature before you decide it has not dissolved

gross powder mass is not net peptide. water and counterion are in that number, i have it written down somewhere

write the date on

coming back to this bacteriostatic water for anything multi-use. sterile water has no preservative in it at all

too dilute imo

AA

20mg in 2ml is 10mg/ml. 1mg is 10 units, 2mg is 20 units, easy
