Intracoronary dilutions

It appears that our interventional radiologists use nitroprusside diluted to a concentration of 100 mcg/mL and adenosine to 10 mcg/mL for intracoronary administration. Does anyone prepare this for them or do your providers mix it as immediate use? Anyone have any other safe suggestions (e.g. use of kit or something like that)?
