Rookie syringe question...

@tahiles Just so you understand how off you are in your plan: a drop of water is understood to be 0.05 mL, which converts to 5 units!

1mL = 100 units.

Shoot for a draw (when pinning) that's a numbered tick on your syringe, between 10 and 40 units. Work back from there. The amount of bac water to use for reconstitution in what is probably a 3mL vial should be around 1mL, maybe.

[The custom seems to be to discuss reconstitution in mL, and draws for pinning in units.]

I appreciate that, I really do. How many units would you try to get in one of those tiny vials? I was really surprised at how small they are.

Take a quick look at this video, and take this slow, you have time to do it right.
The jar holds just over 3 ml. 100 unit/1cc insulin syringe is 1ml

( I was corrected, 1ml=1cc )

I suggest you heed the advice of others and take a few minutes to read/search/watch videos
I HAVE NO IDEA WHO THIS COMPANY IS- JUST A GOOD TUTORIAL

I’m not injecting for a couple of weeks. Did you miss my post above where I asked about injecting 10 units of water into an 5mg vial, and one unit out equaling .5 dosage? Pretty simple method without needing a calculator.

You also didn't seem to know what the vials and their contents would look like. I'm not being rude; I'm making sure you are being safe.

Make sure you check your COA- a vial is often over filled by a large amount as well. So your 1/10 measurement could end up being enough to make you ill.

you're confused about what a cc is. They are not the same as a unit, they are equal to mL

Holy shit.. you are correct.
One milliliter (1 mL) is equivalent to one cubic centimeter (1 cc). Therefore, a 1 mL syringe is also considered to be a 1 cc syringe.
I apologize and retract if I can. I do try to be accurate. That was a major mistake.
Sometimes I am over optimistic in my knowledge.
please..please.. read my disclaimer
 
I try to use enough BAC so that the draw I need is about 20-50 units. This means it fits in a 0.3 cc or 0.5 cc syringe, and it is easy to read the marks. It also means that it will be impossible to make a dumb mistake and accidentally draw up a big overdose, because the dose simply won't fit in the syringe.

Even if I could easily measure and dispense 2 units from a 1 cc syringe, I would not choose to mix it that way.

@tahiles you may enjoy the spreadsheet in my signature as it calculates dose options once you provide the vial mg and BAC mL. (Or it may make no sense to you, I made it for the way my brain works!)

How does this report look? Over potency?

Where did you get that from? That was one of my first ever kits. Who's still selling them??

Is it weird I recognized it by the vial amounts 😂

Someone remind me to check my kit when I get home, I'm 99% that's not the COA for those vials.

Your question, because you want to learn, should be: How can I evaluate a CoA like this? What should or shouldn't I do?

Answer: first, look at the purity. For the weight-loss peptides, you want anything over 99% purity. Good.

Then average the results for actual tested mass. In this case, it averages 5.83 mg.

[Optional: figure out how much overfill, as a percent of nominal mass. For many people, if it's more than 10% over the nominal mass, ignore the nominal mass and use actual mass, with a good online reconstitution calculator. I ignore nominal mass no matter what, and enter the actual tested mass even if it's a bit over. The vial on this CoA is 16.6% overfilled!!! That's a lot.]

Use actual mass for your calculations. I like the reverse peptides calculator in my signature for this. I predetermine what draws I'd like to use for pinning, in units...10 to 40 units.

It's important to use the CoA for your particular batch. For nexaph, scan the fancy barcode on the kit and it'll take you to the vendor-commissioned CoA, which in the case of Nexaph is trustworthy enough. Sometimes there's a lag of a week or so between when you receive your kit and when the CoA is available. The test specimen has to be shipped to Czechia.
