Diluting IGF 1?

[hopkins]

Hey guys,

I have just recieved my first vial of IGF - 1.

Anyway, looking at the 1 ml vial, I imagine it is very tricky getting out 1.5 -2.0 units every time, as I will draw out twice a day. (I will be using 30 - 40 mcg's a day)
The margin for error here is very small.

I was considering adding 4 ml ( to make a total of 5ml ) of BA, that way I can draw out 7.5 - 10 units each time.

that way I can be far more accurate with the doses.

Apart from possible BA sterility problems can anyone esle see any issues here?
I was also going to mix BA with AA ( as the IGF comes in AA), I don't see this as a problem though.

I see the BA and AA mix is more of a problem than the BA sterility.. mainly because of the difference in consistency of AA and BA... but I might be shooting in the dark on that one...

I am not sure BA and AA mix?(they might seperate, like oil and water)not sure though.

Just remember more BA=more ouch

BA is water soluable

I realise i can put water in the vial but doing so would just make it deteriorate much faster.

Serioulsy though, sticking a needle into a 1ml vial 50 times seems crazy. surely a lot is going to be wasted while fiddeling around.
i will just try to get some more AA and mix that in making up about 5ml's.
