1. Gather your supplies: Before starting, collect all necessary items. You will need Bacteriostatic Water, the tablets to be dissolved, a sterile syringe, and alcohol wipes for sanitization.
2. Sanitize your workspace: Ensure the area where you’ll be working is clean and free from contaminants. Use alcohol wipes to clean surfaces and your hands before proceeding.
3. Open the Bacteriostatic Water vial: Remove the cap from the vial and use an alcohol wipe to cleanse the rubber stopper. This step reduces the risk of contamination.
4. Draw up the Bacteriostatic Water: Using a sterile syringe, draw the appropriate amount of Bacteriostatic Water. The amount may depend on the instructions provided with your tablets.
5. Add water to the tablets: Gradually inject the Bacteriostatic Water into the tablet container. Aim for the side of the container to minimize foaming.
