Ag-Guys Liquidex doses using dropper

redflash · 01-13-2007, 03:25 AM

Goods received, thank you guys!

There are no markings on the dropper. I believe the dropper holds 1ml and there are 30 droppers full in each bottle. To get a dose of say 0.25mg (= a quarter of a tab), I therefore should need a quarter of a dropper-full.

Q1. If I squeeze the cap as much as possible and then draw up as much possible it appears about half-full - is this 1mg?

Q2. I guess if I want 0.25 mg I could estimate that visually but could I also count so many droplets? How many droplets per 1ml/1mg?

Once I have this sorted it will alow me to fine tune my dosages much better than with tablets where my "quarter" tabs vary quite a bit in size.

Many thanks,

Flash

Usually most droppers are .5cc

Try backloading a syringe while counting drops to get a good guess. In the 'old days' we used to go by the Liquid Research droppers, which at 1ml were about 60 drops. Viscosity of the product and force used though could make a small difference here, since there is a certain adhesion quality even with water.

So, I'd say 12-15 drops is probably about .25cc/ml.

Cheers Mudge - I'll try the syringe idea but I think you're right at 12-15 drops.

If the solution is thin enough, an insulin syringe is the most accurate.
