#reconstitution 2026-01-19

Highlights from this day
- meniscus_mel — the meniscus thing is real. read it at eye level or you are guessing by a unit either way, still working it out 20:17
- meniscus_mel — the vacuum will pull it in. let it. fighting it is how you get a face full of aerosol 20:24
- bac_water_bill — if you draw up with a bigger pin and inject with a fresh one you lose a bit more to dead space 21:00
- u100_pat — slightly off topic but the last few units are a real loss. i accept it rather than tilting the vial and drawing air 21:02
- luerlok — update from 7 months ago: switched to a single concentration and have not miscalculated since 21:36
thats fine

round numbers
unrelated but how long after reconstituting before its actually dissolved

label the date too. you will not remember which vial is which by week 19, i could be wrong
is the meniscus reading actually a real source of error or am i overthinking
bac water or sterile water for something im going into weekly for 8 weeks
30mg in 3ml is 10mg/ml, so 5mg is 50 units. half the barrel, feels like a lot but its right
is a slightly cloudy solution ever ok or is that always a bin it
a slightly collapsed cake is cosmetic. a puddle in the bottom is not
if you draw up with a bigger pin and inject with a fresh one you lose a bit more to dead space
foam is bad

one unit is 0.01ml
i was wrong about this last year: it is fine to draw cold, it just stings more going in
thats 5mg/ml
gross powder mass is not net peptide. water and counterion are in that number
yep 10 units
does it matter if i inject the bac water straight at the powder
