  Administering Growth Hormonr (HGH) Patient Instructions
Diluent syringes hold a total of 5 mL and the syringes used for injection hold a total of 1 mL.
If the diluent vial is close to empty, it may be necessary to keep the tip of the needle below the level of the liquid, only slightly inside the rubber stopper, so that diluent and not air is drawn into the syringe.
Slowly inject the final 2.6 mL of diluent into the HGH vial the same as previously: Keeping a firm grip on the syringe’s plunger (due to the remaining vacuum seal) hold the HGH vial stopper-side-up and point the needle of the syringe downward.

  Diluent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Diluent (also referred to as a dilutant or thinner) is a diluting agent.
Types of diluents more familiar to the general public include paint thinner and nail polish thinner, both of which improve the consistency and applicability of the products to which they're added.
Diluent is also used as a term in solvent extraction for an inert solvent in which a metal extraction agent (extractant) is dissolved in.

 U.S. Patent: 5011512 - Coated abrasive products employing nonabrasive diluent grains - April 30, 1991
Thus, adding soft nonabrasive diluents, which breakdown quickly under grinding action and aid the breakdown of the abrasive grains, to coated abrasives, would be expected to lead to the removal of the entire cutting surface, thereby reducing the life and performance of the abrasive article.
Additionally, since the nonabrasive diluent grains are generally less expensive than the premium abrasive grains, the coated abrasive articles of the present invention are less expensive than coated abrasive articles containing a full loading of premium abrasive grains with no diluent.
The nonabrasive inorganic diluent grains of the invention should not be confused with organic diluents or inorganic fillers which are sometimes used in the bond system of coated abrasives.

 Bronchial Challenge: No Diluent Needed?
First, he pointed out, “identification of diluent responders may obviate the need to use methacholine” in severely hyperresponsive individuals who may be endangered by such a challenge.
The masking problem may be explained by the observation that inhaled diluent sometimes mimics methacholine.
“Diluent challenge provokes the same physiological reaction: contraction of muscular fibers of the airways, with an increase in airway resistance and reduction in forced expiratory volumes,” noted Dr. Bohadana.

 Polymer Clay Cyclopedia- Thinning TLS - An Experiment
Did the same for TLS with mineral oil to see if the smell is greater, and to see if I could tell, when slightly raising the temps, at what point the TLS gives off the stronger fumes.
My conclusion - the Sculpey diluent in TLS makes the TLS more rubbery, and it is clearer, partly because of less crackling than the TLS with mineral oil.
I believe that it is diluent of some sort that is separating out of the TLS.

Assay diluents are often paired with a specific type of sample (such as serum, or cell culture media) to eliminate interference and non-specific binding generated from the matrix of the sample itself.
The conjugate diluent stabilizes the conjugate and minimizes nonspecific binding of the conjugate onto the blocked plate or matrix residue.

Lilly Discontinues Diluent for Humulin® Ultralente, which means that a 30 pound child who uses just a ½ unit or less of Ultralente for their basal insulin will be at a much greater risk for a dangerous hypoglycemic reaction.
If a 30 pound child uses ½ unit or less and cannot dilute it, then their risk for error can be much greater because it is very difficult to measure ½ unit of insulin and they can easily be off by 50% which would be a serious problem.
Lilly recommends that patients who are currently using the Sterile Diluent for Humulin L and Humulin U see their physician so that appropriate changes to their insulin treatment can be made.
