it should be completely clear with no floaters. cloudy means stop
my rule is one concentration for everything so i never have to think about it at 7am
do i swirl for a specific length of time or just until its clear
i write the mg/ml on the vial with a sharpie the moment i reconstitute it, ask me again in a month
[edited]update from 5 months ago: switched to a single concentration and have not miscalculated since
i have never once regretted using a rounder number and a slightly bigger volume
is the meniscus reading actually a real source of error or am i overthinking
read it at eye level

5mg in 2ml gives 2.5mg/ml, 0.25mg is 10 units. good for a starting dose, not advice obviously
right so i swirl for about thirty seconds and then leave it. never had one fail to dissolve
write the date on
one unit is 0.01ml
