#reconstitution 2025-09-22
Monday22 messages5 participantstimes are UTC
Highlights from this day
- bea_reconstitutes — 30mg in 3ml is 10mg/ml, so 5mg is 50 units. half the barrel, feels like a lot but its right, ymmv 18:28
- split_dose_sam — is there any reason not to just always use 2ml 19:02
- bea_reconstitutes — nobody here should be telling you a dose. we can check your arithmetic, thats a different thing 19:06
- meniscus_mel — lyophilised powder is far more robust than people think. it is the solution that is fragile, from memory 19:08
- lot_number_lou — benzyl alcohol is what makes it bacteriostatic. it is about 0.9% typically 20:10
anyone worked out a recon volume that puts 10mg on a round unit mark
dead space in a standard insulin syringe hub is small but it is not nothing over a month
30mg in 3ml is 10mg/ml, so 5mg is 50 units. half the barrel, feels like a lot but its right, ymmv
can i add more bac water later to a vial ive already reconstituted
right so the powder is stuck to the stopper, do i care
is there any reason not to just always use 2ml

the meniscus thing is real. read it at eye level or you are guessing by a unit either way
read it at eye level
nobody here should be telling you a dose. we can check your arithmetic, thats a different thing
lyophilised powder is far more robust than people think. it is the solution that is fragile, from memory
if you draw up with a bigger pin and inject with a fresh one you lose a bit more to dead space

you can absolutely just always use 2ml, and honestly most of us should
how long after reconstituting before its actually dissolved
my vial pulled the water in on its own, is that the vacuum or did i do something
benzyl alcohol is what makes it bacteriostatic. it is about 0.9% typically
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/mlthats fine

is it normal for the cake to look slightly collapsed on one side
anyone got a photo of what a properly dissolved vial looks like
right so coming back after 4 months, has the pinned recon volume advice changed
