First time, Last Minute Questions and Checklist

For my syringes I keep the 3 mL ones for reconstitution. I use 0.5 mL and 1 mL 31 G 8 mm syringes for injections. 25 G feels large to me. My wife would not be happy if I used a 25 G. This is for Reta.

Thanks for posting this. It looks like a solid starting point for my own research. There is more involved than I expected. Good luck with your setup.

I use a 13 mm filter. I have read that 4 mm is rated for up to 1 mL while 13 mm handles 1 to 10 mL. Do not forget to account for the liquid held back in the filter. That is about 0.07 mL on a 4 mm and 0.28 mL on a 13 mm so either adjust your BAC volume or plan to be slightly over. If you get a tray for filtering make sure it is stainless steel. I thought I had everything ready the first time but once I laid it all out I panicked and could not remember the steps, so I followed a video instead.

I stopped using 25 G needles for reconstitution. The self-healing cap stopped sealing properly and allowed air to move in and out while drawing or pushing air. Since then I have switched to 30 G. It is slower but safer.

Hi everyone, another complete beginner here. I am only now learning about filtering. Is this standard practice or just personal preference?
