Mixing 16 mg ARA-290
Adding 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 16 mg vial of ARA-290 gives 8 mg/mL: each 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 800 mcg. With 1 mL it's 16 mg/mL (1,600 mcg per 10 units); with 3 mL, 5.333 mg/mL (533.3 mcg per 10 units). More water makes small amounts easier to measure.
