Quick syringe math for dosing arithmetic dosing: if your vial is reconstituted at 5mg/2mL, that's 2.5mg/mL.

Adding a me-too, because a thread of one person's experience is not much use.

There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. The useful checklist is about verifiability rather than presentation. Independent test results commissioned by buyers rather than by the seller, consistency across multiple batches over time rather than one flattering report, a physical address and a company registration that resolve, batch and lot numbers on the actual labelling, and a shipping practice that matches what the material needs. Everything a good-looking website provides is cheap to fake; none of the items above are.

One concrete data point for the thread. For anyone reading later: the numbers in this thread are worth checking against a primary source before you act on them, including mine. Half the figures circulating in this community trace back to a secondary summary that dropped a qualifier.

One thing that is still open after lisa_labSD’s answer:

Was that from a primary source or from a summary of one?

Worth saying that the confident version of this is more useful to the person writing it than to the person reading it.
