#reconstitution 2025-09-13

Saturday13 messages3 participantstimes are UTC
Highlights from this day
  • mg_per_ml — 10mg in 2ml is 5mg/ml. so 0.5mg is 0.1ml which is 10 units on a u100 the vacuum will pull it in. let it. fighting it is how you get a face full of aerosol 09:07
  • hiccup_hollis — nobody here should be telling you a dose. we can check your arithmetic, thats a different thing 10:04
  • private_script_pri — follow up im getting bubbles in the barrel every single time, what am i doing wrong 10:41
  • hiccup_hollis — label the date too. you will not remember which vial is which by week 11 10:54

pick the volume so your dose is a whole number of units. thats the entire trick

update on the earlier thing 20mg in 2ml is 10mg/ml. 1mg is 10 units, 2mg is 20 units, easy

the meniscus thing is real. read it at eye level or you are guessing by a unit either way

10mg in 2ml is 5mg/ml. so 0.5mg is 0.1ml which is 10 units on a u100

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

dead space in a standard insulin syringe hub is small but it is not nothing over a month

lyophilised powder is far more robust than people think. it is the solution that is fragile

PS

slightly off topic but if the maths gives you 13.7 units, change the volume. do not try to hit 13.7

label the date too. you will not remember which vial is which by week 11
