Genotropin mixer needed?

[Rick Kane]

Hi Rick Kane,

I am concerned that when pushing the grey stopper up, some fluid may leak out, do you think it would be safer if I do this with the plunger pushing down? I just worry to mess up the product (it is expensive) May I use the same needle to release the air and also to inject the product?

Thank you for your answer!

The rubber stopper at the end is very tight. No water is going to leak out. If you're not comfortable holding it vertically than lay it on its side. I do it with my 12mg cartridge and never lost any water. I hold it straight up so the air comes to the top of the front chamber while the bottom of the same chamber will have the puck and water doing its thing. Just remember to have a pin in the top to release pressure. If you don't, the water will only go half way in the front chamber and the increased pressure in the front chamber will cause the gray stopper to create suction and part of the reconstituted protein will end up in the rear chamber, exactly where it's not supposed to be.
You can use the same syringe. I don't see why not.

Thanks for the instructions, they worked perfectly. I was just about to do something desperate when I found your post.
