Highlights from this day
  • batch_bandit — if the powder is on the stopper, tap it down before you add anything. it will still dissolve either way 18:06
  • hydrate_hana — if the maths gives you 13.7 units, change the volume. do not try to hit 13.7 18:08
  • batch_bandit — slightly off topic but 10mg in 1ml is 10mg/ml, so 2.5mg is 25 units. thats the one i use update from 19 months ago: switched to a single concentration and have not… 19:09
  • bea_reconstitutes — i keep a spare vial of bac water in the fridge purely so i never rush the maths 19:11
  • batch_bandit — 30mg in 3ml is 10mg/ml, so 5mg is 50 units. half the barrel, feels like a lot but its right 19:12

benzyl alcohol is what makes it bacteriostatic. it is about 0.9% typically, we shall see

update from 19 months ago: switched to a single concentration and have not miscalculated since

U-100 syringe: 1 unit = 0.01 ml
  10u = 0.10 ml
  25u = 0.25 ml
  50u = 0.50 ml
 100u = 1.00 ml
mg drawn = ml drawn x mg/ml
