@Mighty-mouse You were overseas when all this went down. It only took a few weeks of persistent badgering to have the guy post it.Bad day? Not much to pick apart about a piece of equipment. I will attempt to make your Christmas a little bit better by sharing how I make capsules.
We are going to make 50mg capsules. Take the average of at least 10 caps filled with API. Making up a number, lets say its .4 grams. Take the average of at least 10 caps filled with filler. Making up a number, lets say its .6 grams
Take the average of at least 10 caps empty. Making up a number, lets say its .065 Since we know that 100% of the volume for the api = .4 then the following has to be true: Convert the requisite API to grams, multiply by 100, and divide by .4 .05 x 100/.4 = 12.5% so we know that 50mg takes up 12.5% of the capsule. Now we calculate the volume of the volume of the filler. 100% - 12.5% = 87.5%, so that's how much filler we need per cap. Figure out how many capsules you want to make. Let's say 100. Multiply API of 50mg x 100 = 5grams API Multiply the volume of the filler by .875 = .6 x .875 = .525 x 100 capsules = 52.5g filler. Multiply the average capsule x 100 and subtract from the sum of the filler so .065 x 100 = 6.5g 52.5 - 6.5 = 46
Solution - 5g of API, 46g of Filler, 100 Capsules
It’s as if men have died to protect it [emoji849]
