Highlights from this day
- mg_per_ml — i use bac water even for a single-use vial because it stings less, which is not the reason it exists 21:49
- night_pin — the meniscus thing is real. read it at eye level or you are guessing by a unit either way, not advice obviously 21:52
- two_eight_c — quick one if you draw up with a bigger pin and inject with a fresh one you lose a bit more to dead space 22:09
- two_eight_c — aim the diluent at the glass wall, not at the powder. it goes in gentler temperature of the diluent does not matter. how fast you push it in does 22:27
- mg_per_ml — ok so the last few units are a real loss. i accept it rather than tilting the vial and drawing air 22:42

why does everyone say 2ml specifically and not 1ml
write the date on
quick one if you draw up with a bigger pin and inject with a fresh one you lose a bit more to dead space
i have never once regretted using a rounder number and a slightly bigger volume
aim the diluent at the glass wall, not at the powder. it goes in gentler
temperature of the diluent does not matter. how fast you push it in does
too dilute imo
if the maths gives you 13.7 units, change the volume. do not try to hit 13.7

im getting bubbles in the barrel every single time, what am i doing wrong
how much do i lose to dead space with a 31G pin
thats fine
ok so is there any reason not to just always use 2ml
is it normal for the cake to look slightly collapsed on one side
