Start waste example calculations
Th
e following examples explain how to calculate the value of the Start waste param-
eter using the Ignite start waste table.
Example 1: Two same sized syringes with dilution
For a formulation with two 3 mL syringes and a 5 mL dilution syringe, the Start waste
value is calculated as follows:
Two same size syringes, 3 mL: 0.50
Dilution syringe, 5 mL:
+ 0.35
Recommended start waste: = 0.85

Example 2: Two different sized syringes without dilution
Fo
r a formulation with a 3 mL and a 5 mL syringe, the Start waste value is calculated as
follows:
Smaller syringe, 3 mL: 0.15
Larger syringe, 5 mL:
+ 0.50
Recommended start waste: = 0.65
