What is the correct way to add diluent so it runs down the vial wall?

Asked 28 Jan 2026Modified 6 months agoViewed 3.1k times

I keep a written log of every draw with date, volume and syringe type.

I would like to understand the steps well enough to explain them to someone else.

I have access to a refrigerator with a logger and a freezer without one, which may be relevant.

So: what is the actual procedure, and which steps matter as opposed to being ritual?
