  • septum_sal — the powder is stuck to the stopper, do i care 18:43
  • septum_sal — lyophilised powder is far more robust than people think. it is the solution that is fragile 19:13

10mg in 1ml is 10mg/ml, so 2.5mg is 25 units. thats the one i use, n of 1 obviously

SS

SS

swirl it. do not shake it. the foam is denatured protein and you are not getting it back

temperature of the diluent does not matter. how fast you push it in does

DE

my rule is one concentration for everything so i never have to think about it at 7am

SS

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

SS

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

HH

while im here is it worth buying a 3ml syringe for the diluent or is the insulin one fine

SS

does benzyl alcohol matter if im finishing the vial in one go

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

OW

one unit is 0.01ml. 100 units is 1ml. everything else in this channel follows from that

OW

i was wrong about this last year: it is fine to draw cold, it just stings more going in

DE

sanity check my maths before i pin myself with something stupid
