Mixing 25 mg SS-31
Adding 2 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 25 mg vial of SS-31 gives 12.5 mg/mL: each 10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 1,250 mcg. With 1 mL it's 25 mg/mL (2,500 mcg per 10 units); with 3 mL, 8.333 mg/mL (833.3 mcg per 10 units). More water makes small amounts easier to measure.
