How to Reconstitute your Peptides

Sanitize & Prepare:

1. Wash hands thoroughly and disinfect your work surface.
2. Remove the plastic caps from both the peptide and bacteriostatic water vials and disinfect the rubber stoppers with an alcohol swab.

Prepare the Bacteriostatic Water:

3. Draw air into the syringe equal to the amount of water you need (1ml which is 100 units on the needle)
4. Inject the air into the water vial (this prevents vacuum).
5. Flip the vial and slowly draw 1ml, 100 units, of bacteriostatic water into the syringe.

Add Water to Peptide:

6. Hold the peptide vial at an angle or upside down.
7. Gently inject the water down the inside wall of the peptide vial to avoid hitting the powder directly, which can damage it.
8. Remove the syringe and repeat this process twice more so that you have added 3ml (300 units) to the vial.

Mix the Peptide:

9. Gently swirl, tilt, or roll the vial in your hands for several minutes (5-10 mins) until the powder is completely dissolved. DO NOT SHAKE.
10. Check for any remaining particles; the solution should be clear.
11. If particles remain, you can try gentle roll the vial, or leave it for a few minutes and it should mix itself.

Store & Label:

12. Label the vial with the date.
13. Reconstituted peptides should be stored in the refrigerator (2-8°C) for optimal stability, for a period of 4-12 weeks. After 12 weeks it must be discarded due to potential bacteria growth and / or degradation.
