Not to be a turd, and I'm sure most know how to do this, but the above is only correct if he reconstitutes 100 units w 1ml. Otherwise, if he reconstitutes a standard 10 iu vial w 1ml water, on a 100iu pin he'd draw back 20 hash marks for 2iu dose. Right? It's silly but this shit frequently spins my brain in circles, esp the 15 iu black tops. I might just start filling those w 1.5ml water
Just trying to clarify for those not familiar w slin pins
Correct the measurements in a slin pin are not in fact iu. Each line is just 1/100 of 1ml. And 1ml will only have the amount of iu or mg that were in the bottle it has been reconstituted with.
For instance 5mg, 10mg, 10iu or 15iu can all be put into 1ml of water. Each would be measured different and depend on your dosing.
Using 1ml is simple because you can divide everything by 100. 10iu/100=.01 x20=2 so therefore the 20 mark on a 1ml pin would be 2iu. However for certain peptides you may want a more or less concentrated dose.
I recommend https://peptidecalc.com/ the visual graphic is incorrect but if you punch in your numbers it simplifies the measurements for you.
