Do it in two steps and it stops being confusing.

I am going to disagree with reconstituting low as a general rule. More diluent, more punctures, more in-use days at room temperature, and the stability trade-off is real. Precision is not the only variable being optimised.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. Red flags, in rough order of how much they should worry you: no verifiable address, no batch numbers, prices far under market, vendor-commissioned tests only, pressure toward irreversible payment, and shipping with no temperature control.

Worth separating that from vendor vetting, which this thread keeps folding into the same question. They behave differently and the advice does not transfer.

Adding the part of the answer the thread has not reached. The pattern that distinguishes a bad batch from an exit is behaviour rather than product. A bad batch comes with communication, a reshipment offer and a batch number. An exit comes with slower replies, pressure toward less reversible payment methods, sudden discounting, and the same reassurance repeated without any new information. The product tells you less than the correspondence does.

Following on from Dr.ReproEndo — and this may be the naive question:

How to check the arithmetic without trusting a website calculator, since three calculators gave me three answers?

OP back with an update, since a thread like this is useless without one.

Follow-up: it was dead space. Switching to a low-dead-space fixed-needle syringe gave me the tenth dose back.
