How do I mix the Genotropin Cartridge without the pen?

ad

I've got a shit load of Genotropin cartridges but know way of mixing them lol. When I was buying them I never thought about the fact that there's no way to mix them without a pen. I've heard there's a mixer device for these cartridges, does anyone know where I can get one? I hope asking this isn't against the rules, because I'm not asking for any gear or HGH, I'm asking for something that's legal and non steroid or hormone related. So I don't think it breaks the rules asking where to find this mixer device.

Or is there a way to mix the cartridges without the mixer device or pen?

Thank you brothers.

"GENOTROPIN 12 mg powder and solvent for solution for injection, with preservative. One cartridge contains 12 mg somatropin. After reconstitution the concentration of somatropin is 12 mg/ml."

I'll refer to the marks on the syringe as units and hgh as IU's to avoid confusion
So you'll have 36 IU's of hgh per milliliter.
2.78 units on the syringe would roughly equal 1 IU of hgh (100/36=2.77777777777778)

Or, consider this:
100 units on the syringe is 1ml.
If I want 3 units to equal 1 IU I would add an additional 8 units of water (36 iU's x 3 = 108)

mix the pen
Inject it into an empty vial
inject an additional 8 units bac water into the vial
3 units on the syringe will equal 1 IU of hgh

Same answer, just different ways to get there.

I cut my pie into 36 pieces. Each piece is 2.78 parts of 100 or 1 IU.

He cut his pie into 100 pieces. Each piece is .36 of 1 IU. You need 2.78 pieces of his pie to get 1 IU.

ANSWER: 2.78 units on the syringe is 1.0008 IU's of hgh.

rounded up, 3 units on the syringe is 1.08 IU's. Keep this in mind. The higher your dose that .08 will add up. For example, if you were taking 4 IU's (as 12 units on the syringe) your actual dose would be 4.32 IU's

Yes. that is correct.

But you need to get your head around this. What if your gh comes in 8, 10, or 16 IU vials?

Understanding what an IU is helps: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_unit
An "IU" on the syringe is not an IU per say. It divides a mil into 100 parts.

You do not need to dilute your gh with 1 ml. You can add or subtract water for easy math.
For example, 36 x 3 = 1.08 mls (108 units on the syringe). Using 1.08 mls would make 12 in the syringe exactly 4 IU's

Diluting an 8 IU vial with .8 ml instead of 1 ml (8 x 10 = 80 units on the syringe) will make 10 on the syringe 1 IU instead of 12.5 had I used a full ml (100/8=12.5)
