Following the reconstitution worked-example thread. Practical question: do people deliberately choose the bacteriostatic water volume so the resulting mg/mL is a clean number to record, or just add a standard volume and live with the decimal? Purely a documentation/handling habit question.
Picking a diluent volume that gives a round concentration

Deliberately, every time. I pick the diluent volume so the concentration lands on a clean mg/mL, because future-me reads labels at speed and ugly decimals are how mistakes happen. The math is the same; the legibility isn't.

Same, and keep your units consistent while you do it — most "my recon math is off" posts are really "I mixed mg and mcg" posts. Round number + consistent units = boring labels, which is the goal.
