Freezer math disaster and other reconstitution mistakes

Posted by protocol88 in Reconstitution and Storage

So I tried to reconstitute a vial of ruthenium study compound yesterday and totally forgot how math works. I stared at the syringe for a solid twenty minutes wondering why my numbers looked like a sci fi script before realizing I added ten times too much bacteriostatic water. My lab bench looks like a crime scene involving a tiny water balloon explosion.

Are you guys actually measuring things properly or just winging it based on vibes? Because some of these posts sound deeply unsafe.

Pro tip use a peptide calculator online so you do not have to do basic arithmetic while half asleep.

True. The little guys are basically swimming at this point.

Hey do not expose my entire lab protocol online like that.

At least your subjects are going to be thoroughly hydrated.

Mostly vibes and cheap insulin syringes from Amazon my friend.

I refuse to believe anyone actually does this math correctly on the first try. We have all sacrificed a vial to the math gods.
