How to measure 5mg in powder

[camo304]

Think I may be cracking up, trying to measure out 5mg out SLU-PP on the scales. I am sure it should read 0.005 yet when I put this into amount of powder into a vial it looks way to little of powder??. Granted I am gauging this on a vial of BPC157 5mg.

There is actually enough peptide in 5 mg to cover part of your little finger nail and the rest is filler. How do you know where it is? What is the purpose of this attempt?

Trying to make 5mg into recon, using dsmo and bacs, I have 10gram in powder so need to make up batches of 5mg, Having bought 5mg vials in the past, there is way more powder than I get when I weigh out 5mg.

Right?!!? Jesus.

I don't think Jesus takes peptides.

I don't think Jesus takes peptides.

Only He could find 5 mg in a 3 ml vial!

The only way to do it with any accuracy is to recon the entire vial and then aliquot it to new sterile vials, or you're just guessing.

The actual peptide in that big ole puck takes up almost no volume. 5mg of BPC has the volume of 3-4 microliters, which is .3-.4 units on an insulin syringe, or .003-.004ml.

Trying to weigh 5mg to a couple decimal places is pretty tough, unless you're willing to spend $2k+ on a scale.

Much more practical to just buy more BPC.

I suppose a option would be to buy a 5mg vial of slu and empty it on to the scales. Then I would see how much is actually in the vials we buy??.

How much what? If you want to see all the filler, then yes.

I thought we weren't supposed to open the vials because of contamination? Am I wrong about that?

It's always a possibility.

You would see the mass of the contents of the vial.

Forgive my bluntness, but the basis of your posts tell me you shouldn't be anywhere near a balance with peptides yet.

Practically speaking, trying to weigh out repeated 5 mg portions from bulk powder is never going to be accurate.... you also don’t actually know how much of that mass is active compound versus salts or other constituents.

That’s why it’s meant to be reconstituted as a whole.

Reconstituting a larger, known quantity and then aliquoting from solution is the only way to get anything resembling reproducibility, otherwise you’re essentially guessing within a very wide margin of error.

And I agree... I think you may need to take a step back from attempting to split anything.... The thought process is off base saying from both a practical and safety standpoint, and it's just not worth your health until you have a more comfortable working knowledge.
