Preparation: Note: Stages 1 to 5 should be done in immediate sequence.
1. With a syringe draw 10 mL of solvent from the ampoule.
2. Add approximately 5 mL of the solvent to the vial with the lyophilized powder.
3. Withdraw as much air as possible from the vial back into the syringe in order to reduce pressure. This will make it easier to add the remaining solvent.
