Measuring small doses

Hi, I have a scale but its only accurate to around +-20mg, so wouldn't be suitable for measuring doses of certain drugs (e.g. 2C-x, 4-AcO-DMT). What methods are there to measure doses in this situation? I am not keen on using liquid dosing, as I guess not everything is soluble and there can be problems with evaporation. I was thinking of mixing the drug with iron filings, measuring the dose, then removing the filings with a magnet. Has anybody tried this? Is it likely to work well?
 
Well I don't know how you would be sure the drug was evenly distributed amongst the iron fillings if that idea is actually worth trying. I think you need a more sensitive scale that weight mcg. I guess a liquid solution with a oral syringe works for certain things, I use it to taper down below 1 mg of suboxone. But with the solubility issues I can't say for sure.
 
Dissolving a known amount of powder in a known amount of solvent would yield a known concentration, and with a simple syringe one could either dose the solution as is, or for more sensitive compounds which you would not make large stock solutions with (like tryptamines) you could only make a solution for a few doses and evaporate separate doses in separate containers for accurate dosing.
