Peel back the tabs on the syringe package and remove the syringe from the packaging. Set it aside on a clean surface.
With one hand holding the vial in an upright position and the other hand on the vial cap, slowly unscrew the vial cap by turning counterclockwise. Set the vial cap down and pick up the syringe.
Before inserting the syringe into the vial, pull back on the syringe plunger to draw in a small amount of air, then push on the plunger to expel the air out.
Slowly insert the syringe into the vial and draw out the entire content into the syringe. If the solution is too thick to draw into the syringe allow it to sit at room temperature no more than 30 additional minutes to liquefy.
